This overclocking is new to me,just built my rig last month.here is what i've done so far.4.2 @ 1.2 vcore is stable,I only changed multi and vcore,this change was from an optimized settings.Tried 4.4@1.25 and crashed about a minute on aida 64,stressing cpu,fpu,cache and memory.All of this terminology is overwhelming to me,any help would be appreciated.I'm thinking I have a lower grade chip from what I see from other post.

What are your system specs? i.e. what CPU/MOBO/HSF/PSU do you have?

Have you tried raising your Vcore slightly higher? And what are your temps looking like at 4.2Ghz @ 1.2v?

Try 1.3, if that doesn't work then you have one of the lower grade chips

tried 1.3 and aida64 crashed about 4 minutes in with highest temp hitting 77.will try to read around and hopefully find some tweaks to help,if all else fails will just run 4.2 but had hoped I could get better than that. thanks alot for your help.
