Can someone tell me why I can't overclock my rig past 4.6. I auto tuned it with the extreme auto system level up but kicks off just past 4.6. I seem to have the same system ( or close to them ) as others that have overclocked higher. Where am I going wrong? Thanks for any help.

I would start with that for one. Research your Hardware and learn to OC yourself. I find those Auto OC tool's dangerous and utterly useless. My opinion
