Hi, so I have a few questions regarding reaching a stable overclock. Currently I have 1.39 V @ 4.8 GHz. The system does not freeze at all during any tasks, and I'm reaching a max temp of 70 C.

The only issue I have is that when I run stability tests like Prime 95 and OCCT I get errors running those tests. I dont get any system freezes, but I get issues like "workers stopped" in Prime 95. In other tests like intel overclocking utility I pass it perfectly. Its just those two that are causing issues.

Something I suspect is the voltage as I do not have any Vcore LLC set. I would add it if I could but my motherboard won't bring up any options to change it. It seems to be permanently set to Auto. I can type something in place of auto, however when I press enter it reverts back to auto.

So the main summary to get from all of this is that I have a overclock that seems to work perfectly (no system crashes at all). Its just the Prime 95 and OCCT tests do not complete. My question is if anyone has experience with this particular motherboard and would be able to tell me how to enable Vcore LLC.

Hi have you tried using the + and - keys to go through the LLC settings? Thats how it works on mine or page up and page down! Also your vcore seems a bit high, so see if the LLC set to High or Turbo makes a differenc and then drop vcore in small increments..

The page up/down buttons did the charm.. Thanks for your help. I know my vcore is a bit high but I think my processor is badly binned since I can't really get my overclock to stick then
