I want to break the 25000 mark in Vantage and my overclock holds me back. Taking the processor to 4.0 GHz is very easy but when taking it past that frequency things get annoying. I know it is not the best revision out there but maybe someone can shed some light on how to find the sweetspot. After hours of tweaking I managed to clock it at 4.1 and it was stable. Unfortunately, I had 1.4 on CPU and this is worrying me. If I wanna get passed that frequency, I need higher and this will kill my CPU

. Any thoughts on how to get a stable overclock? I will delete all my overclocking profiles from BIOS and start from scratch.
Any suggestion is more than welcome.

I won't jump to any conclusions but ... some people might find that comment rude and disrespectful. Prove me right and explain why was there a need for a remark like that?
