Hello, so I tried to get a little more punch out of my fx 6300 so I overclocked it using a guide I found on youtube, and it seemed to pack a little more punch, I was just wondering if that is a safe amount for it to fluctuate? I have the voltage set to 1.4, although it never seems to get that high, the highest I have seen is 1.392 volts. I am also concerned since the voltage seems to go down to 1.368 whenever I am running prime 95 or a game of some sort. The voltage fluctuates no more than about .030 volts, from which I can gather is normal, but it seems strange that it would go lower when at 4.3ghz.

I have a hyper 212 plus

I am using cpu-z and open hw to monitor temps clock speeds and voltage.

I have it overclocked to 4.3ghz, and it seems pretty stable, although when I tried to turn it on this morning from sleep mode, I think it blue screened while it was asleep, although it hasn't done it again.
