I have some questions about this mobo.
I want to have a solid 4.4 ghz overclock with the hyper 212 evo cooler master cooler.

When i change the CPU voltage to 1.35 my system wont boot at all.

I did overclock the cpu to 4.2 ghz, but i only touched the cpu bus,voltage, AMD cool and quiet and AMD turbo core option.

Can someone tell me why i cant change the CPU voltage and how to safely OC to 4.4 ghz?

Thanks

Which power supply do you have? A voltage increase normally should not disallow a PC to boot, provided the voltage isn't too high that it damages something. 1.35v definitely isn't too high for that CPU. It could also be that your motherboard simply does not have the ability to provide that much juice to the CPU for a higher overclock, but I doubt that's the case right now.

Downclock your RAM when overclocking your CPU. You don't want to run into a RAM limit before your CPU limit.

Nevermind.

I reached a 4.5 ghz overclock without touching the voltage.
I am now going to test if its stable with Prime95
