Hi,
I have an Asrock A85x Extreme 4 M board and have been attempting to overclock my Athlon 750k. I have managed to get to 4.4GHz @ 1.45v however when I run AMD's stability tests my system restarts a few minutes in, the CPU temp was not above 50c so I touched the VRM heatsink on my motherboard and they were very hot (could only touch it for ~2 seconds)
I can only assume that the VRM is the problem as the APU version of my CPU could go to 4.6GHz on the same motherboard in a review, and this motherboard is recommended for overclocking. I'm not sure what I can do in this situation, could it be the heatsinks aren't seated properly?
Thanks
