    It was completely stock, it dosent matter what settings i use. So I will reinstall windows, I had similar issue about 6 months ago, when system crashed after like 30 mins. Reinstalling windows helped it and i taught it was memory, but now I'm running only one stick that i ordered about 3 months ago... And I changed only one thing at the time. I know that my max blck is 219, so I tried 19,20,21,23 and 23 seemed most stable . Also QPI and DRAM settings i found out that do almost nothing compared to Vcore, I tried setting QPI/Dram to 1.4 and PLL to 1.88 and system was extremely unstable at any multiplier ( It would crash about 10 secs after boot ) until I messed with Vcore. I think my chip is just not as good/binned. I also tried your settings from other Forums and TechYesCity( YouTuber ) bunch of settings. But only way I can get it stable is increasing Vcore. And at 4.15Ghz it seems like 1.41 Vcore is just fine but 4.3Ghz requires at least 1.44 Vcore to be stable at which point my system throttles down ( Because I use AirCooler ). And last thing, unfortunately I can't get new thermal paste, cuz its quarantine in my place and I dont have one by myself. Last time I changed it was about 8months ago. Thanks for your effort helping me ! Really appreciate your time. I will try one more time when reinstalled windows, maybe windows was the case. Altough I doubt it...

    Thanks for your suggestion ! So I tried that settings and after like 4 hours of trying different settings now I came up to even bigger problem. Windows settings or any settings in general wont open, I can't even open start menu, Windows update or other menu options from settings dont work, even notifications. Before that I came up to a bunch of different BlueScreens. And one time system wont even boot. It sayed something like: Bios not detected. Try inserting Floppy Disk and try again. But after restart I signed up to my windows acc and now any windows related setting or window ( Calculator, windows store, settings, update, notification, time adjust ) wont work. Only control panel works. I probably won't overclock this chip again. This is probably caused by faulty RAM, but now I'm running only 1 8GB stick that i know really works without problems. I attached picture about what it says when i tried open (Display Settings) or (Personalise Settings) from my dekstop. Sorry for asking u for help again. But is there any way to solve this problem without reinstalling whole windows again ?

    So I think my chip is just not as good as it should be ? Would it make sense to buy another x58 CPU like x5675 and try my luck overclocking that chip? Or performance wont be much different compared to 4.15 ghz now ?

    I tried your settings and the results I got is that anything below 4.185 Vcore would make system extremely unstable. So I can't go lower than 1.4185. QPI I set to 1.32 and it seems pretty stable, Ram is also set to 1.64 just in case it lower number would make system unstable. These are the pictures of my settings. And even with higer CPU frequency my FPS is much lower than before. In bechmark I got 340 FPS with 180BLCK, Same Vcore, 4.15 GHZ, and RAM speed set to 1444. And now with higer frequency 4.25 I have 290FPS... Can higher frequency generate more heat and than my CPU throttle down. And also does ram speed matter in games (F.E CS GO) compared 1144mhz to 1444ghz. Running dual channel and one RAM stick out of three is in another channel, because it cant fit and make tripple channel with my huge CPU fan

    Thanks for suggestion, I will try it tomorrow, because today I'm to busy. I will update my status Thanks for helping me again, hope it works !

    I updated my post above. And the result is that 4.2 GHZ requires at least 1.42 Vcore and anything below that would make a computer crash or bluescreen. I tried bunch of QPI,Dram and Vcore settings, but anything below 1.42 Vcore with 4.2 ghz would crash.

    First of all thanks for replies ! And Happy Easter. So for few hours I tried setting OC with your suggested settings and techniques, and that's the results I got: I figured out that 1.38 Vcore with CPU PLL 1.7 and IOH 1.18 4ghz was achievable with Multiplayer 20 and BLCK 201. It was stable, but 4ghz wasn't enough so I pushed it forward. 4.2 Ghz I achieved with CPU PLL 1.8 And Vcore 1.42. Anything below that Vcore caused a bluescreen: Then I tried higher multiplier 21. It crashed at first, 4.0 ghz was possible with Vcore 1.4 and CPU PLL 1.7. And higest CPU speed i achieved was 4.2 Ghz with Vcore 1.42 and CPU PLL 1.8: It looked like anything above 4.2Ghz needed bunch of Vcore and it was really unstable. Even with these 20 and 21 multipliers i got less fps than with my stock settings, even tough CPU frequency was higer 4.25, 4.23 Ghz. So I tried my "Stock" settings 4.15 Ghz and pulled down CPU PLL to 1.7 and these are results I got. I tried CS GO benchmark with three of these multipliers First picute is multiplier 20, 2nd is 21 picture didn't fit but it was 314FPS and 3d is 23 my stock settings It looks like that anything above 4.2 GHZ seems very unstable or requires to much Vcore, I tried RAM settings and also changing, pulling some of RAM sticks out. RAM seems to not be a problem (Some x58 boards have problems with RAM). So I have one more question: Is buying another CPU for example X5675 worth it ? Becouse it costs not much ( 20$ ) But I don't know if performance gain is worth it Thanks !

    Yeaa, I know its high, but any number below 1.4 Vcore gives me bluescreen, and i tried quite bunch of settings, I think I'm missing something, because that voltage is wayyy to high for this amount of OC. Maybe u can help me and suggest some settings to change ? Thanks, I really appreciate your time helping me !

    So should I just give up ? Or there are posibility that something is wrong with BIOS settings, I am not planning to run this system for too long, so CPU wear didn't really matter for me

    Hello, so I tried to overclock my x5660 ( Yes I know its quite old) for about 1 year without success to exceed 4.2GHZ clock speed, I always get BlueScreens, I tried different voltages, multipliers, setting RAM speed very low, watching lots of videos and trying to copy every setting , etc... But couldn't get stable overclock past 4.2 GHZ, even 4.2 requires at least 1.41875 VCore voltage and I seen videos of guys running 4.4ghz on 1.35VCore. At first I thought it was my ram, but after I ordered another 8GB of RAM, it turned out to be the same. Also overheating is not the problem, I am running quite good thermal paste ( Don't know brand) and Air cooler with 3Fans running 2800RPM. I am looking for any help from you guys, because this system is quite old and i want to squeeze every bit of performance possible My PC specs: CPU: Xeon x5660 Now running 4.150 GHZ GPU: Nvidia GTX 1060 6GB Motherboard: ASUS ROG Rampage 3 Extreme RAM: 16 GB 1444 mhz : 4GB Hynix, 4GB Nanya, 8GB Kllisre Storage: 360GB SSD, 300GB HDD, 720GB HDD OS: Windows 10 64Bit Bellow is pictures of my BIOS settings. Thanks for any type of help !
