This is my first time trying to oc my CPU, I have managed to oc it to 4,2ghz @ 1,295v max temp 70c full load. Thing is, I have seen other people on the internet easily get 4,4ghz with much lower voltage.

Have I missed anny settings while doing this that could inprove my results? (Just adjusted the multiplier and vcore) Or have I just gotten unlucky with my CPU?

Thanks!

Wow, well, if you've already tried lowering the VCORE with no success then maybe you do have a bad chip. A BIOS upgrade could be worthwhile, assuming that one's available.

Are you overclocking via the BIOS?

Nah started at about 1,1v and leapfrogged up from 4ghz oc with 10min aida64 stresstests, couldn't get 4,4ghz to be stable for 5sec under stress test and 4,3ghz bluescreened on me after about 1h of stresstesting.
