I've recently had a run-in with a little problem concerning my overclock. My PC won't boot cold with it.
Yeah, I know, weird.
This is how it goes(a little too lazy to upload a CPU-Z shot):
I'm OC'd to 3.10ghz from 1.8 on my E6300
Bus - 444mhz
Rated FSB - 1776.0
Multiplier - X7
My RAM's manufacturer is Gskill and the RAM is set and advertised to be PC210000. As it would turn out, the RAM won't cold-boot with the PC anywhere near 1000mhz, as far as it's concerned it normally won't unless it's just a tad over 800.
The bios reads it as running at 888mhz but I'm a tad concerned. If my RAM is advertised as 1000mhz I should be able to take my bus speed to 500 but I can't. I'm running cold, 38c idle and 57-58c under full load. I just don't get it.
So why can't I boot cold without my bios resetting? I've been thinking that it might not even be the RAM, it might by my PSU not hitting the CPU or RAM with enough juice in the morning(considering it's going from nothing to full speed).
