I think I got a dud somehow. I dont know if its the MOBO or the CPU, but I cant seem to get it going.

Im stuck at 180-181x20 with RAM @ 1080 7-7-7-19.
185x20 = BSOD after 5mins of prime.
(1.35v, 1.36vQpi, RAM 6x, QPI 36X, Uncore Auto/18X)

I have tried 200x17, 200x18 and 200x19 ... no go. Higher vCore, vQPI, PLLīs, ICH, IHO etc. doesnīt help a bit.

My temps are strangely low, even tho im running the stock Intel cooler. 3600Mhz 1.3v and prime load is only 65c.

Very low leakage CPU = very bad overclocker?


Anything I should know about the EX58-UD3R? Some kinks perhaps?
