I'm having issues getting stable on my 965BE @ 3.959. First off, I have set the RAM timing myself and have a good cooler on it. I never hit more than 50 C (that I can recall) and can run small FFTs in Prime95 for 24 hours. The problem I have is within a few hours of large FFTs and blend tests I BSOD. I have the 124 error which from what I read could be solved by upping my voltage. I have my voltage set manually at 1.55v in my BIOS but both CPU-Z and HWMonitor show 1.524 as a max (it flucuates quite a bit as seen here http://imgur.com/PN6vzW6).

Anyone have any ideas on how I can get my voltage to stay put or get it to actually hit what I have it set at?

Also...the motherboard is an Asus M4A88TD-V EVO/USB3

You have the same mobo and CPU as I do. I never got my Phenom stable past past 3.9

4Ghz was wanting 1.5 volts or more to be stable but the temps were too much for my liking. Some chips will do it some won't. It may be limitation of our motherboard, too. But I don't think so. You can set the voltage in the bios - which is how you really should be overclocking. Don't use software for CPU overclocks unless you really have to. It's a little more tricky, but it's nothing you can't figure out eventually.

Disable Cool and Quite in bios too, IIRC. This might help stablize voltages. Also disable both LLC options in there as well. Been a while... might have to look at my own bios and post back.

Everything has been done through the BIOS. I have my voltage manually set at 1.55 but it never actually hits it. It gets to whatever I posted in the OP (1.524 I believe). The temps are not a problem either as I also posted on the OP.

I also have all the fan and throttling options disabled in the BIOS.
