Thread: When Overclock Failed! Please Help!

The problem I'm having is that after any overclock at some point or another I will get the Overclocking Failed message when booting up, I could boot fine 10 times and then get it or I could perform one soft restart and get it. The issue is that within the OS the overclock is fine, its stress tested in Prime 95 and Memtest for any were between 12-24 hours without error and the temp is monitored with core temp and its always well within its limits (the heat sink is amazing!). This occurs with any overclock it could be 3.2GHz or 2.7, eventually I always get an overclock failed message, it seems totally random, I’ve tried everything to fix it!

Ok so I’ve been overclocking for years now and have read many many guides but have not come across away of fixing this problem. I'm thinking it could juts be the motherboard is a bit dated now and does not like to overclock?

The PSU is the newest component in the system; I bought it less than a month ago it’s working fine but maybe a compatibility issue? This problem seemed to arise more since getting this PSU.

I've heard and read of other people having this random problem but the solutions they suggested did not work for me.
Thanks

What worked for me in a similar case was to increase the memory and Northbridge voltage.Not sure what your memory voltage is.Add one notch of "North bridge" voltage also.Relax the memory timings if necessary.
