Hey guys.

I have M5A97 R2.0 and FX 8320. Default clock is 3.5 GHz. I wan't this to 4.2 GHz atleast but i can't do it. I tryed few oc build i found on internet but it's not stable.

When i run Prime95 with Small FFT test. My system will freeze after few mins or core fail but mostly system freeze. Temps are pretty normal. Not super high. Im not so good to on the oc things. Maybe i doing something wrong with the bios setting. If anyone have same motherboard can somebody will share bios setting with me? Or do you guys have any idea for this problem?
My full spec:

Win 10
GPU R9 290
16gb 2x8 DDR3 Ram 1600
Fx 8320
3HDD + 1 SSD
CM Hyper 212 LED Turbo Cpu Cooler
4 Case Fan
CM 750W Bronze Power Supply

Thanks.

You can't just copy someones settings and expect it to work.
You will need to find where your CPU is stable on your own.
If your system is unstable you most likely need more CPU voltage, assuming CPU settings are the only thing you are changing.

I already tryed very high voltage. Some uses this for 4.5GHz+ But my system is fails on 4.2GHz already. That's why im looking for solution for this.
