is this right?

Im a bit lost trying to get a stable overclock with this Cpu and MB

I was running @ 3.6 Ghz 18x200 @ 1,1375 Vcore this was stable 4 hours playing Fallout 4 and prime 95 for an hour i stopped the test ( not due to failure )

The system froze after a map finished of BF1

Mb: is a Asus p7p55d
Cpu: i7 860
Gpu: Asus Gtx 780
Ram: is ddr 1600 Mhz
Decent Psu: from Evga 700W bronze

Running prime 95 for an hour isn't going to show if an overclock is stable.

Hell I have seen a CPU pass 12 hours of prime 95 and still be unstable.

Adding more voltage to an unstable overclock is one option. Lowering the overclock is the other. Find your happy balance between clock speed and supplied voltage.
