How come i tried 4.4 @ 1.280v and prime95 failed ?

I even tried 4.2 @ 1.280v and failed again.

Pc crashes after a few seconds.

Can it be a RAM issue ? My ram is 8gb 1333mhz and i oced it to 1600.

Thanks all !

Nope, but those temps are a little too high IMO. Try and get the voltage down, keeping the multiplier at 42. Glad my advice for the RAM worked :)

No, there is barely any difference between 4.4 and 4.2. I use 4.3 myself, with a Kraken X61 cooler.
What is your cooler?

Allright. I reverted ram settings back to default. Right now im at 4.2ghz with 1.220v. Temps in prime95 were 85-90.

Idles are still over 40s.

Did i lose alot of performance in gaming from 4.4 to 4.2 ?
