I have a Asus M5A97 Le R2.0 with Corsair 1866 Mhz ram along with a amd phenom ii x6 1055t and its stock speed is 2.8 GHz and I've overclocked it to 3.5 GHz but now I'm stuck can't get it to go any higher without errors in Prime95. Help?

settings
cpu voltage original 1.375, now 1.4125
cpu bus frequency original 200, now 250
I have also turned off cpu spread spectrum and unganged my ram an it is under clocked. I have tried to increase the cpu/nb frequency and voltage along with the nb/ht frequency and voltage but that did not work. By the way my temps in prime95 are pretty much as high as i can accept so i don't think i can take the cpu voltage any higher. Please suggestions.

Wrong- it depends on the chip. The 8120 for example can go to 62*C, where the 8350 can go a little over 70. And not all chips are the same, some are higher and others are lower-some better for overclocking, some not so much. It's really about luck at times.

As for the 1055t, the temps should be 55*C or lower. But some people have had problems where it reached higher 60's. Which isn't good for the chip.

You shouldn't state because of AMD's silicon, because they changed a little in their CPU's now.

I do not take liability for any actions you take in damaging your hardware of course. But if you're not stable in Prime95, what error do you get?
You probably have to increase you CPU and NB voltage to make it stable before continuing your overclock. If you have a 250 bus freq, then try lowering it and increasing your mulitplier. Increasing the bus speed usually requires more voltage to the cpu and NB rather than just raising the multiplier which mostly relies on the CPU voltage. Because raising the Bus alters everything on the Northbridge. HT, RAM, and CPU speeds. Try something like 240 bus and test prime 95. Then slowly increase your multiplier, until unstable. Then increase your voltage. It's a repetitive process, best taken in baby steps. BE SURE TO MONITOR TEMPS! You could also be unstable just by your CPU overheating. Another thing tho take into account.
Hope this helps.

I am stable at 250 on the bus it's when i try to go higher is when it becomes unstable and i cant increase the multiplier it's as high as it will go at 14. The temps are around 55-57C in prime95 at the most.

If it becomes unstable-try lowering the multiplier. Then increase the bus until unstable. Increase voltage-or step down and start increasing the multiplier. And increase voltage.
