I tried 20/160 to get an easy 3.2GHz

I have tried the profile in the RAM to get it to DDR3 1600 and I have tried it manually.

I have tried upping the CPU voltage to as high as 1.4 volts.

I have tried upping the QPI voltage to as high as 1.4 volts.

I have tried turning off Turbo mode as well as all the power saving modes that I could find.

I even tried the RAM at DDR3 1333.

My goal is to have the RAM at DDR3 1600 and the CPU at 3.2GHz for ffdshow and encoding. I got a Q6600 to 3GHz easy on 8 gigs of RAM, so I am wondering why I am having a hard time with what I believe to be a relatively easy task.


Any BIOS configurations and/or tips would be greatly appreciated.
We are having the same issue on my friends computer, this is not a good sign, the cpu doesnt overclock well with 12gb's of memory, maybe its a motherboard related issue, if someone has a fix please post, thanks.
