Tried those settings with case side off, and room cool and fan blowing on
cpu cooler, no luck, temp after lock was high 50's in bios!
Tried the 13x again, took longer to lockup! Bad cpu, luck of the draw,
vbg! Stable at stock settings, my memory is great in turbo.
Thanks
2500rpm is rather poor for a cpu fan (assuming it is 80mm) the one on my hsf
is adjustable from a minimum of 3000rpm - to 5500rpm - sounds like you have
a cheap 80mm case fan on the cpu - or to use your own words "crappy". The
house fan suggests that it is not any of the other components overheating -
just perhaps the cpu under a crappy fan and heatsink
High 50Cs in the bios (assuming that is socket) after a crash is
outrageously high. Have you checked the seating of the hsf to make sure it
is on properly. My temps once hit 70C - when I got an eyelash stuck in the
compound between the heatsink and cpu. Perhaps if you tried a better fan
and/or hsf you might get better cooling - no need to go mad, there are some
reasonable hsf at the circa £10 mark. Suggest a copper based/insert one at
least. Doing somethings like running games I have to up the fan speed to
maximim (and turn up the game volume) otherwise I can get a crash on some
games.
But as you state it may be the cpu - but I find if I give the cpu enough
vcore it will go a lot faster - BTW it is the jumper above the hsf that has
'overvault' written by it - used in conjunction with the overvault
protection jumper mentioned in the manual. The bios will throw an error if
vcore is at 2.05v - but you can tell it to ignore it or just press F1. But
I would try sorting cooling first before doing that - as temps do go up a
bit
