Hey guys recently installed a maximus v extreme and it is awesome. Right now i have my 3770k @ 4.9ghz with 1.36 vcore and it is prime 95 stable. My max temps are 67c on a watercooling loop, other cores or at 61,63,66. However, i really want to hit 5ghz. Whenever i up the voltage, i can boot but cant get prime stable, even with 1.42 volts. Any suggestions? Xtreme tweaking is enabled as well as internal pll voltage and some settings in digi power are enabled. Thanks in advace

I doubt 1.3 is safe, but even with 1.5v I doubt it would hit 5. CPU's just max out sometime, you didn't get the best chip. AFAIK 5.0 (non-suicide run) is fairly rare.

^Or that. XD Cooler=less voltage needed. Maybe a superloop? Below ambient?
