So the i5 760, its proven to easily overclock to 4GHz with just air cooling.
I only know the basics of OC'ing. So I tried to overclock this sucker by bumping the multiplier from 20 to 21 then boosting my FSB up 10 from 133. I couldnt even get past 153, because when I ram CPUStap Test, the test would stop and indicate a system malfunction.
Now I'v read about the numbers other people have used to OC their i5 760, and I tried one configuration but my system just BSOD. Though I do have one question, I see people LOWERING their multiplier when OC'ing. I dont understand what the reasoning for this is, so it would be nice if someone could explain that to me.
Also, main question, what is the trick to overclocking the i5 760?
