I have been using this CPU for a little while now and want to try overclocking it.

My specs:
AMD Phenom II x6 1045 w/ ARCTIC Freezer 7 Pro Rev 2.
ASUS m4a88T-M
Patriot 8GB DDR3 RAM

I took a stab at changing a few settings in the BIOS with another guide on here.
Here is my CPU Z screenshot: http://puu.sh/7zdti.png

I was able to run a prime95 Small FFT test for 10 minutes with no failure, yet with a Blend test after 3 minutes I was recieving "Worker stopped" for one worker, which then led to more giving out.

Where do I go from here?

You can over clock a ways with this cooler, if you really want to go at it, get a H100i or custom liquid setup. The first this to do is up the CPU multiplier in the BIOS by .5 increments...

You can over clock a ways with this cooler, if you really want to go at it, get a H100i or custom liquid setup. The first this to do is up the CPU multiplier in the BIOS by .5 increments (starting at the normal stock setting). Each time, run P95. If you get an error, go to the BIOS and raise the VCore a little bit. Raise it until you do not get an error. Play with it and be careful!

I went from the beginning stock CPU multiplier and raised it by 0.5, and upon running the Blend test in P95 I still have workers stop about 3 minutes into testing.

What should I do now?

Bring up the voltage. Try 1.3V.
