Trying to overclock my processor to about 4.2 or 4.4. I have it set overclocked at 4.0 right now but I know I can push it a lot further. I've read around and it seems liker 1.1-1.220-1.235 is kind of the sweet spot. But my computer won't even boot at that low. I have an Asrock motherboard and it keeps telling me for overclocking over 4.0 you must set voltage to 1.85 or more. I knew it didn't sound right so i did it and it booted up, but failed seconds into a prime95 test. I also tried 1.3 and it still doesn't seem to work for me either. I've owned it for about a year and a half now but my friend had it before me and he went to a 5960x so he sold it to me, but he was showing me when he had it that it was running at 4.6 just fine. So I know the chip must be good.
