Hey, Guy's I am looking to overclock my cpu even more than i have now.

Specs:
AMD FX-8350
Motherboard Gigabyte 970A-D3P
Cooler H80i
PSU Corsair CX 750M

The 8350 comes at a stock 4.0 and i wanted to get more performance, I achieved a stable 4.5 OC without touching the Voltage. Now with streaming anymore performance would be great so I would like to get to a stable 4.7. When I got to 4.7 I bumped up the voltage to 1.48V in all the research I read it they say that should be a stable OC. I dont have any issues until i stream, once i stream my computer struggles. So I thought that it might be because it consumes more power while streaming so i bumped up the voltage to around 1.5v. And still i get issues like freezing. Everyone else as far as i know, those should be a stable OC for 4.7. So I kept everything the same expect bring it down to 4.6 and still run into issues when stream. That whole time I was overclocking with the multi. So i tried OC using the Bus Speed. And with that my computer would not even POST so I cleared CMOS and went back to 4.5 but it doesnt feel right. Anyway is there anything im missing that will help with a stable 4.7 OC?
 
Solution
What I mean is, your motherboard may be at its power delivery limits. FX CPUs are extraordinarily power hungry, and it often takes an expensive motherboard to get a large overclock, which 4.7ghz is.

If so on some motherboards cant you change the amount of power your motherboard can provide the cpu. I did put the LLC to Extreme to provide the power.
