Hey everyone. I was just overclocking my cpu yesterday for some fun and to see what I could get it to. It was recently at 4.3ghz with +0.005 offset maybe lower didn't try too much when I first got it. Yesterday I wanted to see how far I could push my cpu sadly its not going any further than 4.5ghz. I can get it to boot at 4.6 and 4.7 didnt try higher but they cause a bsod in prime and intelburntest. I had the voltage at 1.36 and didnt want to go any higher. Right now I'm checking the stability of the 4.4ghz right now. its been running prime95 for 14hours with no errors of whea errors. The best part is at +0.01 voltage the temps didn't rise at all it still has a max of 72c even after 14 hours and the heat has been on all night and day so maybe even cooler without it. As for getting past 4.5ghz could this be because of my motherboards low power phase? I have a asrock pro3 which only has a 4+2. Would a 8+4 help?

With more VRM's, there is less heat loss, increased efficiency, and maybe more stable power. So changing to another motherboard with higher number of phases might improve the overclocking a little due to better power stability.

However, the main limitation is due to the actual CPU chip. Some chips overclock better than others due to variation in quality of chip dies.

You are close to the limit of overclocking with this particular chip. Using a higher phase motherboard may improve overclocking a little, but I'm not sure it is worth doing that.

Yeah I was just thinking it wouldn't be worth it. I thought 4.4ghz was stable at +.01 but I made a noob move and didn't even adjust my multipler so wasted 14 hours haha I tried it and it boots and all temps at 75c but I got a bsod on Intel burn test and at .015 I was getting whea errors so I was getting closer but i decided to stick with my 4.3ghz oc I had it at 0.005 offset but I'm actually at -.03 right now it gets bsod at -.05. So far -.03 has yet to get a whea error like the other offsets. Plus I was kind of thinking even if I did get a stable 4.4 it wouldn't seem like anything since I already been 24/7 stable at 4.3
