I overclocked my Msi Board to 4.5 with [+0.060000]

I tried going up to [+0.100000] to get to 4.6 but it crashes, does that mean i can only get 4.5?

Maybe, maybe not. What does CPU_Z show as your "Core Voltage"?

I find it much easier to keep track of my voltage settings by modifying Vcore directly, instead of using "offset". YMMV.

That is definitely too much! It should be no more that 1.300 v.!

Just leave your offset at Auto and set Vcore to 1.280 - 1.290v. Set VCCIN to 1.9 v. (I can't remember but it may be listed as "CPU Input Voltage"). Also set Ring Ratio to 35, Ring voltage mode to "Override" at 1.190 v.

Good luck!

I can't find any of them options just one called CPU Core Voltage and that's the one that has the settings like [+0.060000] and so on.

MSI has several CPU voltage settings as follows:
"CPU Core Voltage Mode" Set this to "Override" for stress testing and "Adaptive" for everything else
"CPU Core Voltage": Set this to 1.280 to 1.300v. NO MORE!
"CPU Core Voltage Offset Mode": Set this to "Auto"
"CPU Core Voltage Offset": Set this to "Auto"

See how that works.

Mate i have the Z77A-G43 GAMING and i went into the OC settings and it has none of what u said it just has CPU Core Voltage.

I'm sorry. I thought that you have a Z87 board for some reason.

Maybe someone with more experience with the Z77 chipset BIOS will chime in here.

Thanks for the help anyway man:)  I got it down to 1.3 v by turning the offset from [+0.060000] to [+0.020000] and the 4.5 seems great.
