I decided I needed a little increase in performance, so I decided I'd try to overclock my new(ish) 760k. It's been going good up to 4.6GHz, and seeing around 20CB in Cinebench for everu .2GHz. However, 4.7 or 4.8 I finally needed to increase my voltage a little, and it stopped crashing instantly. However, it went from 350CB to 200CB every run. So I did some googling and was pointed to download AMD Overdrive. I saw that cores 0 and 1 were hitting my x48 multiplier but cores 2 and 3 were in a "limp mode" where they were same temp, voltage, but the multiplier was 1.8 as such, the cores refused to go past 1.8ghz. I was told by another thread to just add some more voltage, so I did, but didn't work.
