As the subject. Anyone else out there forced to tone down their overclocking to get a successful Mac OS X 10.7 Lion install?
I used to clock my i3-530 @4.6GHz (210*22) when I was running Snow Leopard (10.6. 7/8). Things were all fine and snappy.
Then I was attempting to upgrade my built to Mac OS X 10.7 Lion earlier today and BAM! Things just keep crashing and KP'-ing all the way. Nothing loads (if any) and crashing and hanging...etc.
I did a couple of vanilla install along the way only to nail things down to my OC settings. I found that OS X 10.7 Lion simply can't run at the same spec as was Snow Leopard.
At the end of the day, I simply had to dial things all the way back to 4.2GHz (19x*22) to get running stable again.
Turns out the Lion simply can't be rushed as much, and don't dash as quick as the Leopards.
Is there anyone else out there who shares a similar experience? Or is it just me who somehow unknowingly got a big fat finger and pushed a button or two that I wasn't supposed to and shot myself in the foot?
Cheers
