OK....Many of you may have followed my recent ocing of my dual 265 box...At 2.5ghz I have been 100% stable sinceSunday until a few hours ago I decided to bump it up to 2520....

What I notice is a delay of the ability to move the mouse after a short period of inactivity...it is like it doesn't come back to life fast enough....Drop it back down to 2.5ghz and no delay....


I have set it at 2.533ghz twice...First time it generated EUE's after a few hours in F@H....Second time it froze up after about 4-5 minutes when I started moving the mouse around in a webpage....

NOt a USB mouse...



I still need to try raising the HTT voltage up another notch...It is at 1.25v and 1.2v was stock...I am at 280HTT

I also have a 600watt OCZ (max 700watt) PSU I can try out...

Other then that it is likely the power limit of the mobo...

I know a quick way to find out: bump your HT voltage to 1.3v. If it still happens at 2520 Mhz, then that wasn't it. BTW, what are your voltages reading? My guess would be the motherboard, since it's already supplying the power for 10,000 Mhz of processors, with 8 MB's of cache.

edit: But, then again, your psu is supplying that much power, also. That definitely sounds like a lot to me, for a 600 watt psu.:Q You might want to try running everything, except the motherboard, in that system from a second psu. It would let you know if your psu is what's holding you back, anyway.
