    "overclocking failed or overvoltage failed"

    Hi,

    I have an E6400 cpu that is running at 2.74ghz @vcore 1.400 ..

    When i tried to bump my fsb to 353, i received an error "overclocking failed or overvoltage failed" and when I up my voltage to 1.4375+ i received the same error again ..

    Anyone knows how to fix this?

    I have an Arctic Pro 7 HSF and my psu is Seasonic S12 550 watt

    Might be handy to tell what mobo you're using since error message comes from bios.

    i believe its an asus.

    raise your voltage even higher. you might need 1.5v to get past this barrier.
    also try enabling memory timings to be set by SPD
    disable hyperpath...
    raise your memory voltage a bit as well

    just general tips.

    your cooling or your cpu batch can be the culprit
    cooling - you can help this. get a better heatsink (tuniq tower) or even watercool it
    batch - you can't help this. all about luck

    It's a general error that can arise from a great many things, basically the board/chip doesn't like your current BIOS settings. You need to work on the optimal settings for your particular combo.
