What is causing the instability? If it's a temperature related issue, more voltage is not going to help.

 

(ps: moving this to the right subforum)

 

Its not tempurature related, I'm watercooled both cpu and gpu. Max temp i've reached was 51c via HWinfo, also HWmonitor.

 

Components;

msi 990xa-gd55 motherboard

EVGA GTX 580 gpu

Corsair Vengeance Pro Series DDr3 1600mhz 2 x 4gb ram 9-9-9-24 timings.

Cooler Master 750 watt power supply

Sandisk Extreme 128gb SSD

 

I can play games with it and use it at 4300mhz and about 1.4v but it fails prime95. I dont know what the factory CPU-NB voltage is so I left it alone. Only raised v-core. Thx appreciate the help.

VRM temps I'm assuming are fine (is less then the cpu itself). CPU-NB is at 2200, HT-link is 2600. The board doesnt like to go above 1866mhz on the memory, even though it says it supports 2133mhz. Plus I wouldn't know where to set voltages for higher CPU-NB settings and HT-link if I increase the FSB. Although is says Ht link is safe up to 3200mhz, but I dont even know the stock voltage on that so I wouldnt know where to start. Plus I don't know if HTlink CPU-NB and memory should all be raised equally via the FSB. The memory timings autoadjust to the frequency of the memory. Right now their 9-9-9-24 at 1600mhz. I've just seen other overclockers be able to keep stable at above 4500 and wondering how. Cooling is not an issue.

CPUNB can be at auto, if is near the default clock (2000-2200MHz)

 

Hwats your VRM? Its hot or not? Whats your CPU current capability in BIOS?

 

CPU current cability like stable? or highest muliplier?
