hey guys.
recently i've bought a new case and a water cooler to overclock a little my cpu without so much danger. (obs: i'm not willing to do a crazy OC, just a reasonable amount)
My rig:
Mobo gigabyte ga-970a-ud3p
galax Gtx970 OC edition
10GB ram corsair vengeance 1600 (8Gb + 2Gb)
Amd Fx8370E
CoolerMaster Storm GX650
Watercooler Corsair h45
the thing is: by boost only the multiplier, i reached only 4.3 (that is the turbo boost maximum of this cpu) with 1.32v in bios, with all power features disable. from what i've noticed, is perfectly stable. i didn't get any crashes and etc.
The max temp that i ever got was 55ºc running DOOM on almost every setting on ULTRA.
but, to play some more bad optimized games (like rising storm 2, insurgency) that requires a good single core performance, I was willing to give a little more boost. maybe 4.5 would be ideal for energyXperformance. but, for some reason, the times that i've tried to raise de clock ( even 4.4 - trying the 1.38vcore at max) it would not boot. i just received the mobo bios message asking for load defaut setting or go to bios and showing the cpu speed at 3.6 (base clock).
so: should I risk raising the Vcore and doing it or just forget about it? it is safe? what can be the reasons for that error? is 1.38v not enough for even booting on 4.4?
