Hello,

I know that I have a cpu voltage limit on my motherboard. scuzzycard said that there's usually a BIOS setting called "CPU overvoltage protection", but I cannot find it in the BIOS. Could someone help me please? thank you
 
Solution
CPU Voltage on that motherboard can be controlled with the MSI COMMAND CENTER Utility software.
Option Buttons - Advanced
When you click on the ADVANCED button, the Voltage, DRAM and Fan icons will appear.
Voltage - allows you to adjust advanced voltage values of CPU and chipset

I am currently at 1.359 volts, I would like to go to 1.4 volts, since I want to maximize my overclock without harming my motherboard/cpu too much.

I am at 4.5 right now at 1.359 volts. Temps while benchmarking are always under 60 degrees, during gaming its low 50's.
