Here i go my own first topic...
After reading alot of posts on overclocking and reading the overclocking guide on this forum i began to overclock my system.(specs in signature). I was planning on a OC that would reach 3.2Ghz. I followed the instructions in de overclocking guide and eventually reached 3.2 so that my memory would be in sync. I started off with a Vcore of 1.35 on my OC and slightly tried bringing that down. When i reached 1.31875 my system seemed to be stable (1 hour of prime 95 large fft's testing without errors) at lower voltages i would get errors on 1 core withing 20 minutes or so. I decided to run a few hours on this OC setup and run prime95 overnight to confirm stability. The next morning i checked my system and saw that the prime95 application was crashed. There were no fatal errors on any core though. I thought i would raise the voltage a little to 1.32125 and then try again. The same thing happened again, after a few hours prime95 application crashed without any fatal errors. Does prime95 crashes because of an unstable overclock or could there be an other explanation??? I googled my problem but didn't came up with any god results that answer my question. All the prime95 testing was done with large fft's and the only voltages in the BIOS i touched was my Vcore.

. do you guys recommend trying 2.2v on the memory or do i need to start looking for other options ?
