First off, here's my system.

AMD A6-6400K overclocked to 5 GHZ (built in nb oc'd to 2400mhz)
Integrated 8470D OC'd to 1100 MHz
CM Hyper T4 with Arctic MX4
8GB G.Skill Ripjaws 2400Mhz
MSI FM2-A75MA-P33 Board
Two 160Gb Seagate 7200 Rpm HDDs in Raid 0
400W Diablotek PSU.

Also, the standard clock is 3.9/4.1 turbo.

Since this CPU uses such low energy, and the cooling I have, it's only at 51c max load. I have it running at 5GHz most of the time, but it isn't 100% stable.

Any advice on getting a higher (or more stable) clock?
 
Solution
Yes, but I would not use over 1.4vcore as voltage can harm chips. Also make sure your motherboard is quality as VRMs can lack the oomph to push a higher overclock.
