I am new to overclocking and i am using AMD Overdrive to help me, During Torture Test in Prime95 my CPU usage is at 100% but then about 10 25 seconds later Core 6 usage starts to drop. I went from 3.5 GHZ to 4.2 then 4.3 and I am now trying to test at 4.4 to get to my goal of 4.5GHZ. Is my overclock not stable? Do i need to allow more voltage? I have never overclocked a CPU before so any advice and tips would be useful.
---------EDIT---------
It seems that the workers seem to be reporting a hardware failure on specific cores, I bumped up to 4.5GHZ and it is now reporting these hardware failures on core 5 and core 6
System:
Motherboard: ASROCK 980DE3/U3S3
CPU: FX-6300
GPU: MSI R7 370
Cooler: CRYORIG H7
PSU: Corsair RM650
