So I've been reading up about the CPU I have and the motherboard, and apparently they're quite easy to overclock and in general when I looked into it Overclocking these is much easier than "older" CPU's as in can just raise the core and nothing else.
So I did as above, slapped in 45, upped Vcore to 1.38V, temps all fine under 80. However, at some point I get a "critical process died" Bsod that causes programs to stop working and the start menu to re-arrange itself, as if I've gave windows a big punch in the face.
I've tried messing with other things like PLL voltage and disabling turbo boost but still the instability, same at 4.3, not sure what I'm going wrong?
Should HTT be disabled to overclock? The guy I bought this CPU off said he had it running at 4.5GHz all the time but the settings got lost battery must have died so had to start from scratch.
