I have an MSI h81m-p33. I can't get it to boot at 4.2ghz, even at 1.4v. I'm stress testing it at 4.1@1.33v, anything under 1.33 is instant whea error. Did I get the worst chip ever? I built my family member a PC with one aswell, but hers runs at stock. I could drive out there and swap them but it would be a while before I could swap back if it was worse. Can it only go uphill from this shitty chip?

[strike]What processor do you have? The motherboard is rarely at fault for an unstable overclock. It is almost always the cpu has been pushed to far or the overclock settings you have chosen are less than ideal.[/strike]

edit: never mind I see the title

Yeah I know that, but is this the worst it can get? If I swapped it for another one that I can get my hands on what are the chances that it's worse
