I've stumbled upon a really strange issue with my 550BE (unlocked).
I can't boot above 210 x 12 = 2520mhz NB, it won't even let me post. But once booted into Windows I can rais my HT ref. and easily bench at 3000mhz and above on the NB in Super Pi, wPrime, PiFast etc. and my CPU is good for 3950mhz with a TRUE and a crappy 1200rpm fan mounted on it (waiting for my Ultra Kaze).
I got the system in signature with MSI 790FX-GD70.
1. I've tried both with my 550BE as a dual-core and unlocked both give me the same issue.
2. I've tried BIOS 1.5b6 and 1.7b5 exactly the same issue with both without a difference.
3. My memory clock and divider DOESN'T impact my results, my issue remains to same even with high clocks/tight timings or low clocks/loose timings.
So it doesn't seem to be a stability issue as I can bench rockstable at 3000mhz with appropriate voltage, but if I even try to boot above 2520mhz on the NB I get a black screen and need to perform a Clear CMOS.
This issue is really strange atleast to me, so does anyone have any idea what could be causing my problems, anyone with this board had the same kind of problem?
