e8400 boxed in FEB
evga 780i p04 bios
nirvana 120 cooler
antek 500 watt power supply
8800gt
2x 1gig hyper x pc8500 1066 ram

ok i CANNOT get this thing over 3.8 AT ALL it will boot up and then right as the windows xp 64 logo loading page pops up BOOM blue screen of death flashes for a second then system reboots

ive raised my vcore up to like 1.45 and still happens... ive tried going a little higher to make sure i wasnt in a fsb hole...all my settings are from the 780i over clocking guide ive tried unlinking and un syncing but still bsod.. any idea?


here is the post im basing my settings off off
The un-official 780i Overclocking Guide...short and sweet.

I have found the following voltages to be rock solid from 1066-1800QDR on the 680i & 780i. Of course your RAM and CPU voltages will vary. Yes I still Link/Sync FSB & RAM. Disable all Spread Spectrums & CE1/Speedstep/Thermal stuff. Fans on 100% for now, you can turn them down later.

CPU ~1.4v (actual via CPUid) a good starting point for Kentsfield >3.2Ghz?faster=more***
RAM Run at manufacturers specified voltage only.
FSB 1.3v....(1.4v ~1600QDR+)
SPP/NB 1.4v...(1.45v ~1700QDR+)
MCP/SB 1.525v
HT 1.25v (aka MCP<>SPP)
AUX 1.5v(auto) (not applicable on 680i)
GTRLEDs (auto) (not applicable on 680i)

Every chip is different, it's quite possible you're just not giving it enough vcore. Have you tried bumping it to 1.5, just to see if it makes it into Windows?
