I have a m5a97 r2.0 motherboard. Has great features in its uefi for overclocking.
I have all the necessary software, prime95, cpu-z, and hwmonitor.
I do know how to use them as well.
I currently have a Athlon II x4 645 3.1Ghz (locked)
for overclocking test purposes. (I have a FX-8350 in a week)
My PSU is a Corsair Cx 750W
Hyper 212 EVO as my CPU Cooler
Now the problem. I can slightly overclock to 3.3Ghz
38c at idle and 45c full load with prime 95
Those temps are great!
Note: Because my CPU is locked the highest multiplier I can go to is 15.5x
So I had the BUS speed increased to about 220. When I try to increase it higher just to 225 to 3.4 GHZ, when I prime95 it (put it at full load) I get the BSOD.
I am giving it enough juice as well..1.45volts. nothing higher, nothing lower.
What could I be doing wrong? The temperatures for the slight lower clock settings had amazing temps.
