Firstly, I tried the auto overclock feature on my P8Z68-V. This got me to 4.4ghz, but it BSOD after 45 seconds of Prime95. So I tried manually overclocking, read the guide on here, watched many youtube tutorials and also visited other forums for help. I did a multiplier of 46 and and a CPU voltage of 1.35. I also tried a few different variations of this, so for example, changing the multiplier and CPU voltage in little increments but each time it ethier, BSOD's before I can enter my password, BSOD's within the first 10 seconds of IBT/Prime95 or gets stuck on the windows loading screen. And yes I changed LLC etc. Just tried the auto overclock feature again and the screen just goes blank and goes to standby like there is no imput from the PC at all. Anyone got any advice for me?
 
Ran Prime95 for 15 minutes and hottest it got was 85C. Although it would be on 77/78 for 2 minutes then it would jump up too 84/85 for a minute. I know this is not what most people would consider a long run, ill run it for an hour tomorrow. Thanks for the help.
