So I'm pushing my multiplier to x18 at the moment with a turnout of 3.6ghz.
I've tried going higher (I ideally want to hit a nice round 4ghz) but whenever I get to 3.8ghz, and I use prime95, I quite quickly get bluescreens. Thusly, to be safe, I skipped 3.7ghz in favour of 3.6ghz for the mean time.
Temps seem pretty good though, even at that, so am I right in thinking this could be a voltage problem?
My mobo is an MSI 770-G45 with a whole bunch of options including voltage options for everything I could need.
What would you advise? Also, the voltage options in BIOS have a "safe" reading, if you go over what it deems safe, the figure turns red.
I've read it safe to go a little over, but how much really is safe?
Oh and on the unlocking side of things, my 555BE doesn't seem to want to function when attempting unlocking all 4 cores, or 3 for that matter so I'm going for the best overclock I can get.
Thanks for your time,
Mark.
