Hello, I tried overclocking my cpu a few times already, and I never got it stable. Whenever I run Prime95 to test the stability, Windows 10 gives me a BSOD with the error SYSTEM_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED. I am currently running on 4.4 Ghz, with a pretty high voltage at 1.47. Also, quite quick after running a small FFTs test in prime, worker 5 and 6 give me a fatal error: rounding was ... expected .... and some times error: illegal summout. Should I continue upping my voltage, or do I need to adjust my CPU-NB voltage (whatever that is?). I am using a Coolermaster Seidon 120M all in one liquid cooler, so temps are reasonably good for a CPU as hot as this one.

I hope someone has experience with the issue and with overclocking on a build like this.

Why is that? Bad experience? :(
