So I'm trying to overclocking my FX-8350 and in stress testing it always seems to under clock to 1.4 ghz I have a h100i v2 and the temps are really good why is it doing that? Is it throttling and can I fix it? I'm only at like 4.3 ghz and it started doing that it was fine at 4.2 ghz

Here's the Mobo I'm using: http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=5779#ov

Voltage Regulation Module.....bare minimum the mobo dies, worst case it takes the cpu with it.

The 125w FX chips need to be on a VERY Strong VRM board. ASUS Sabertooth is the cheapest one I know that is strong enough for it. I had a gigabyte 970 with 6+2 phases and it was not good enough to hold up to my fx8320@4.3
