just a quick question.... i have an x99 motherboard (msi mpower overclocking) and i cannot overclock my cpu for the life of me... i was wondering if there was any way i could test the power delivery on my mobo to make sure its doing what it should be doing and not giving my cpu the short end of the stick?

 

thanks :)

Have you reseached your particular CPU for overclocking? Some have FSB holes, where they just wont work. Sometimes there is a particular FSB/multiplier that is more stable than others.

No FSB on x99, or any intel platform since 775.

You could use a multimeter to test the psu voltages, but software like hwmonitor can monitor the 12v.
