dont really know where to start but may as well ask.
was using a biostar ta970 for overclocking my 8320 (yes not the best board for that, regardless)
used to be able to jump to 4.7ghz stable at around 1.45v..
since then i've got a GA-990FXA-UD3 Ultra from gigabyte and i cant go any higher than 4.2ghz and it doesnt stay stable unless i go to around 1.46v, which seems stupid high to me.
wondering if that's reasonable at all that voltage? something i'm doing wrong or not.
far as any bios i have i've turned off cool 'n quiet and done everything the article on overclocking fx chips has got to say.
any possibility the VMR could be getting too hot or is that silly?
thanks
