It looks like that is what I'll try. I'll keep you posted.

OK, this is starting to really suck. This is what I have tried so far and the respective vcore2 voltages that show up in Speedfan 4.33 on stock settings. F2 1.82 F4 1.82 F7 1.74 F8 1.82 Oddly enough, I can't get anywhere near my memory's spec'd 4-4-4-12 @ 2.1 v. I've added, as...

I'm not sure what you mean by browse to the .F*file.

Well, MFB and I worked on this for a while last night and didn't make a whole lot of headway. It seems that we can not get my RAM to the correct voltage for some reason. Even after adding +.4v it was still below the 2.1v required to maintain 4-4-4-12. At this point it could be a BIOS issue...

Ok, I've got the new memory and PSU installed. Now I'm having a weird problem. When I try the settings that MFB posted, the PC fails to boot 2x like before, but now on the 3rd when it used to come up all the way and I could go back into BIOS, the PC is on like it should be but the monitor is...

Just to be safe, when I completely remove the old RAM and install the new is there anything I need to do before or after, or can I just swap them and all is well? I have read a ton about resetting the CMOS, etc. I was not sure if this is something I need to do. I planned on resetting all...

I'll run it and let you know.

I can get 3.4 at the stock voltage.

Hmm, I have looked through many of those posts, I am very curious to see if my E6750 is of the power hungry variety or the lucky variety.

NP :) I appreciate all of the help and the feedback none the less. You guys have been pretty patient with helping, especially since I know very little about OC. FYI, I am resetting back to default settings tonight and I will be installing the correct RAM and the new PSU (Silencer 750 Quad)...

You are correct.

Now that I know what it is, it seems that after I made the setting changes you suggested, the PC fails to boot and reverts back to the factory settings. I'm curious to see what I'll end up with after having the right memory. What kind of a limit should I give myself on the stock cooler...

@ CV Thanks for the awesome response. In doing further research, I have found that the RAM I purchased was the wrong one. I purchased all components at Microcenter, one of their "Build your own" guys grabbed everything I asked for and in his rush it seems he gave me a different model of...

For anyone interested my previous 3DMark06 score on stock settings was 11,400 and the new one without having the RAM set up is 12,520. :)
