Hey all.

So I'm starting to overclock my CPU. My CPU is the fx-8320 with the CNPS12X fan. I first started at 3.8 then 4.0 then 4.3ghz with intelburntest at maximum setting (stress level). PS. My motherboard is the GA-970A-UD3

@4.3 I got an error and my system did an auto reboot. I tried again just to see (since i thought 4.3 wasn't that high with the cooler i got) and it jammed the screen. At this level, I have gotten temps no higher than 41Cel.

I'm wondering whether this is because I'm performing at maximum stress level, and whether this was acceptable to test for stability?

Thanks.

After some reading. I thought it might have been a ram issue since it was on maximum. Though after putting it on very high I still jam the computer with 2gb of ram open.

I'm wondering what this could be. Is there something I should be reading? Is this test too hard on the CPU should I try standard or am I just not stable. I find its odd considering my temps are 40c.

I am wondering whether it's the chip, my ram or some BIOS settings.
