I have been trying for a while to overclock my 8320E on my M5A97 with a Hyper 212 EVO and Arctic Silver 5 thermal compound but it cannot pass the Blend test on Prime 95 for even 15 minutes. My temps were quite high at an average of about 74C socket and 64C core and the test would always freeze my computer or blue screen after only about 15 minutes at only 3.9 GHz. I have read many people getting at the very least 4GHz on this chip. There must be something else wrong because I don't think I could've lost the silicon lottery this bad. I am using primarily default voltages but also tried at 1.3V without success. I have LLC enabled and Spread Spectrums disabled, typical overclock settings for my chip.

Hope you guys can provide me with some solutions. Thanks!
