Default Voltages not changing on XFX 750a
Hi guys, my cooler finnally arrived after a month of waiting so i was stoked to overclock, so i pushed the CPU up to 3.3 Ghz before it crashed under prime95, so i was like, upith the voltages now, so i go into my bios and set the voltage at 1.4 (1.35 stock) restart open up CPUz and it says 1.35. So i bumped it up to 1.45v to see what would happen (max safe is 1.5) and still the bios reading shows 1.36 and so does CPUz so im stuck at 3.3....any ideas? any help would be lovely

The vCore in the bios will be different than the vCore measured by CPU-Z this is bcause of Vdroop. Does the mobo not support vCore's over 1.45 if so updating your BIOS may help.

He's right, It most likely is VDROOP.
