so lets begin with the basics. i have a amd fx 8350 4 ghz with a CM evo 212 for cooling and a ASUS m5a97 r2.0, cpu never going above 35c under 100% load. i wanted to overclock to 4.5 ghz. so i read a few forums, etc. started with a miny overclock to 4.2 ghz with stock 1.380v for cpu manual, i have the latest bios just to mention. i loaded optimized defaults, letft everything default and changed the cpu ratio so its 4.2ghz, it loaded up my OS, ran prime 95 for about 5minutes then a core failed. dropping from 100% to 85-95% with a 1.380v and everything else default, are they're any changes i can make so i dont fail a core? and have a successfull overclock? ( i even tried with a 1.42v manual voltage for the cpu, core still fails and goes around 7-70%. for my motherboard my bios version is the latest of 2301. please HELP, ask questions if necessary. (no worrying about temperatures here.) and after a bit of stress testing about 20 minutes, another core fails and thats the max core amounts it will go.
