i am pretty much new to the whole OC business
decided id try and see how far my cpu can go
ive been using ASRock OC tuner to get 3Ghz without giving it a second thought for a while
then i read guys reporting frequencies 3.4-3.6 and even 4 so i thought i could get 3.3 no matter what
asked OCCT and got a bsod
14x232 1.375V, 14x231 1.4V, 14x226 1.4V and 14x223 1.4V were all a no go
whats funny is that neither OCCT nor Prime95 caused any problems while running
true, no test ran for longer than ~1.5hrs, but never anything?
then about an hour or so after testing i got freezeups
