Ok so I am using the following motherboard:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128514

I have a few questions, firstly - why is it when I overclock my cpu to 4.5GHZ I have no problems but as soon as I bump it up to 4.6 GHZ it turns off? I am using a liquid cooling system and it's not overheating, could it possibly be the voltage?

If so, can someone explain to me how to tweak it?I don't know which settings I should be tweaking with and I don't want to ruin my parts by increasing the voltage too much. I've looked everywhere but everyone is using a different motherboard with options that I don't have.

Also, under my motherboard product description it says:
-DDR3 2000(OC)/1866


I am using Gskill Sniper Series 2400mhz 16GB, I understand it won't run at 2400mhz due to the 2000mhz limitation but will it not simply downgrade to the maximum supported speed of 2000mhz?

I am so sick of my memory holding my benchmark backs!

I don't know if you guys collect Dogecoins, or if there is anyway to reward people on this site but if I could I would!


Thank you very much!

Generally increased ram speeds won't really effect real world performance. the difference between 1333 and 2400 in most programs for performance I have found to be within the margin of error. But for your overclock my guess is you just have a not bad but good chip, but not extremely good chip out of the 8320's. Some processors just overclock better than others. For me I built a system with the rog board for a friend and I think I cranked the voltage up to 1.52 and it was stable at 5ghz so I think setting yours within the range of 1.45 V to 1.47. 1.5V if it crashes I would guess that you just have a poor chip or that even though that motherboard has good power delivery, it might not be good enough for anything over the common 4.5
