HELP. I'm doing my first overclock and I am using an AMD FX 6350 black edition with an ASUS M5A97 R2.0 motherboard and I'm having problems. I got it up to 4.6 ghz with 1.49 volts stable (kinda) and I raised it up to 4.7 ghz with 1.50 volts and I am stable up until I run prime95 (sounds funny I know but let me get to that). Looking at cpuz, I have 1.5 volts on idle, but whenever I run cpuz I get 1.39 volts MAX. I don't know what to do please help. I think I have every energy perserver turned off but feel free to let me know if you think that's the problem. HELP. If you think that's too high of an overclock maybe but I do know some guys over yonder got it to 5 ghz with 1.52 volts or something so I feel like a failure. Help. I have fallen and cannot get up.

Hi,

You need to read some guides so you can understand what you need to do.

What you're experiencing is called Vdroop (the difference between idle and load voltage), increasing the LLC (Load line Calibration) value should resolve that issue.
Keep an eye on your temps under load with a program like HWMonitor (http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html)
