    what program you using for your monitoring, I know real temp but what is the other one with voltages/temps for basically your whole rig… and is it free to download/use?

    @Skunk2K20 check this video out, /watch?v=egGjcXcgYeM&feature=channel 4:38 (ignore the CPU it his bios setting, on how he configure everything)
    maybe there some setting you want to tweak up, I switch out mine with xmp profile from standard ram and was able to get more juice from my ram / Manuel timing of course but im using corsair dominate oh and have u test it with v-droop. when u run prime95?,
    I was able to get my temp down by 10c and ran more stable but idk it probably my mobo evga x58 sli

    @onewaffleshort Umm… You might have one ram detatched or broken, try to feel if all of the DIMM’s are tighten to the MoBo. And as the CPU you might need more voltage.

    @Skunk2K20 not sure what to change, new to OCing, what would be the settings to change, umm re temp with a noctua nh-u12p i get no higher then 69′c on full load without ht.

    @onewaffleshort Interesting issue with the memory I haven’t had that issue before. Maybe just double check that all of the settings are correct. Each cpu is different yours might require a higher voltage at that clock speed. This wouldbe a good starting point for you to find the best oc settings that work for you though. Also what temps are you getting along with BSOD code?

    awesome vid, i was shoked when i found it my pc is very similar, same mobo and cpu anyways, i set all my bios settings the same as shown, and i noticed my trip channel ram is now running at dual, is this normal…did i miss somthing or enter somthing incorectly, also i noticed you had HT on, when i try to burn test with HT on with thoes settings my pc crashes…

    @Skunk2K20 this could be the difference..the temp of the cpu is Depends on your room’s temp

    @Danth01gt Noctua NH-D14 as the title states and as in the description says IC Diamond 7 lol and if you watch my other videos where I installed everything it shows the exact method but really I just did the pee size drop and then placed the cooler on which is what is recommended for this thermal compound

    What type of cooler, thermal compound, and method of applying the compound did you use?
