Hi everyone.

just installed my old computer in a new case with a new cooler and PSU.

Gigabyte 990FXA-D3 mobo.
AMD Phenom 1090T BE edition.
dual channel corsair vengeance CL9 ram 2x4g 1600mhz
Cooler Master silent pro 1300w PSU.
Corsair H80.

trying to reach 4ghz over clock.
so far i have it stable at 3.8ghz @1.45V and 3.9@1.55 prime crashes at voltages lower then 1.55 o.o for clocks higher then 3.8

but as soon as i go to 4.0 it crashes. i have taken the vcore up to 1.55 but i dont want to go any higher because people say they can achieve 4.0ghz @1.45v.

when i ran prime95 at 4ghz @1.55v the test ran for about a minute then 1 core would crash then the whole system would BSOD.
my system is not running hot.

i have disabled all the power saving crap in the bios and im just increasing the multiplier and the voltage for the cpu.

does anyone know if i am doing something wrong? or does anyone have any advice for me?
 

Don't increase the voltage past 1.45v, as I believe that is the highest for that chip. You can check on AMD's web site. Sure, go ahead and try to OC the NB a bit.
