I wanted to overlock my cpu. I have been running at stock for awhile. Now I have proper cooling and PSU so I decided to do it. I wanted to go to 4.7 on this chip. I went with 1.264 volts to start because the stock config has it at around this at 4.4 I wanted to see were I was at stock voltage. I ran realbench for about 18 mins with no issue. My temps were around 70c which is not bad. Would anyone suggest any other stress test ? I cant afford Aida 64 right now. Is it possible to get this speed on stock volts ? I guess im just surprised because I didn't get a blue screen. I have overclocked many AMD chips with success. My psu is a seasonic platinum 750 snow silent. what do you guys think of what I done

I agree to stay under 1.3V. The fact that it lasted 18 minutes in RealBench with no BSOD means that if it turns out not to be totally stable, it's already at least very close and would only need another 0.1-0.3V, which would still be a reasonable voltage.

What would you suggest as a direction if I BSOD. Dial it back to 4.6 or push the volts up a little. I have read to stay under 1.3 volts for everyday use which is what im trying to achieve ?
