Alright I know this question has been asked many times before but I can't find a clear cut answer to my problem - sorry.
I'm new to overclocking and I've been trying to OC for awhile. My friend managed to get the CPU to OC to 4.1ghz at 1.18 vcore and it was stable for awhile. However i soon got the BSOD and it came more frequently and for some reason or another my bios settings reset and my profiles are gone. So now I'm trying to OC myself and I finally got to a point where I can boot past the windows logo and log in but after 5 mins or so I get the BSOD. Please help I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
Here are my settings so far (or what I've changed)
Under frequency settings
CPU Clock Ratio: 41
K OC: Enabled
CPU PLL Selection: SBPLL
Uncore Ratio: 36
Under Voltage Settings
CPU VRIN Voltage: 1.800V
CPU Vcore: Normal
CPU Vcore Offset: +0.100V
CPU RING Voltage: Normal
CPU RING Voltage Offset: +0.100V
Edit: I saw on another post that changing my Sata settings from AHCI to IDE or vice versa helps and it did not in this case - when I change to IDE the pc won't boot entirely
If anyone else has successfully OC'd on this CPU and mobo could you tell me your settings that would be greatly appreciated. Actually any help would be I just want this to work lol.

Seems like 4.1GHz was a step too far with your setup.
If I were in your shoes, I would try this
CPU Clock Ratio: 40
Uncore Ratio: 34
CPU Vcore Offset: +0.070V
CPU RING Voltage: Auto.

Will run very slightly slower, but should be stable.

Oh my God thank you PC is stable now - ran stress test on prime 95 and temps are at 60 degrees Celcius. No BSOD. However if you don't mind me asking, if I want to try and increase the frequency, do I change the VCore then or the VCore offset? Or is 40 as fast as I can go for now on my setup?
