Hello all, recently upgraded my cpu heatsink for some higher clockspeeds and have blue screened around 4 times since then (installed heatsink 5 days ago). Before I had my cpu at 4.1Ghz or lower, but now 4.2Ghz and over just results in a crash, this has happened both with prime95 and Battlefield 4, I'll list specs, drivers, error reports, and a minidump file. If any more info is needed please ask.
EDIT:As I was putting the specs in I noticed that the FX-6300's turbo speed is 4.1Ghz, does that mean I can't overclock it past that?

Specs:
Asus M5A97 R2.0[http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008V9959O/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1]
FX-6300 [http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113286]
MSI R7870 14.4(drivers) [http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127722]
Rosewill Green Series 80+ Bronze 630w[http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182200]

Windows has recovered from an unexpected shutdown:

It's most likely one of two things:

1. Ensure that the heatsink is correctly mounted and that your temperatures are actually down.

2. (and this is the likely culprit) Past 4.1 Ghz will likely result in you needing to increase vcore voltage to the processor. Be conservative with this: you want to add as little voltage as necessary in order to maintain a stable environment. Overclocking is a long trial and error process involving slowly increasing speed and/or voltage while watching the temperature.

Accidentally selected your comment as best solution...
But I believe its on right, idles at about 20C and max at 4.1Ghz is around 40-45C.
And how would I go about increasing voltage, same place as clock ratio?
