I'm trying to over clock my fx 8350 but I hit a snag. I get to a stable 4.6 GHz but when I try to go up to 4.7 windows 8.1 says I need to do a repair. When I tried to get to 4.8 I get a american megatrends screen that says over clock fail.

This is my first ovetclock

My hardware. Fx 8350
Sabertooth 990fx r2
Xfx 550watt power supply

Thanks for the help

Well you may have reached the limit so now you need to play a little like experimenting with ram speed and timings and of course voltages.
