my motherboard is gigabyte ga970ud3p, if I set the multiplier more than 22 when turning on it will not turn on and you can choose to go to bios or set optimized defaults
 
Solution
When ocing it is best to turn off all power saving features. This helps with stabilization of current delivery. The nb voltage is fine so leave this as is. you may find that lowering the voltage creates instability so be sure you test good at each voltage drop.
Have you turned off the turbo boost option in the bios?
What voltage do you have the CPU set at?
What CPU cooler are you running?
What North bridge frequency are you running?

When OCing the FX series it is best to turn off the turbo boost and only use the the base multiplier. Just because you have seen this chip get to 5 GHz does not mean you can or will reach that but to get to 4.3 to 4.7 is much more likely.

Multiplier @22 and reference clock at 200 = 4.4GHz so you are aiming in the correct area so I think it is a bad BIOS setting preventing the OC.

Well the multiplier I'm using now is 22 and the external frequency is 205mhz and the clock is at 4,5 ghz so I think I'm fine, and the voltage is I think 1,46 and nb is 1,26 think so, but it's running without problems

Just turned off c1e have the nb? clock set to 205mhz and core clock set to 4,5 so I get a total clock of 4.6 vcore voltage is set to 1.47 but I will tryto lower it downa little and nb core voltage set to 1.27 so yeah... it actaully let's me raise mpre than 22x just need to up the vcore voltage more and the c1e feature didn't help because it lovered voltages... So yeah

The instability you are talking is random pc shut down and or bsod? Maybe something else?
