Ok, I got rid of the junky Gigabyte board that I started this project with. Now I moved up to a ASRock Extreme 6, H110 Water cooled and Corsair Vengeance ram modules. Not trying to over clock those.
I followed the guide for the Extreme 4 and the helped me out tremendously and I was able to get as high as 4.9Ghz at idle but it would crash after throwing a load at it. I backed it down to 4.8 Ghz. I found that if I UPPED my PLL voltage, it actually dropped my temps at full load significantly. At 4.8 Ghz, I was seeing temps as high as 105 C but with a raised PLL voltage its only getting to about 85 C. idle, I'm seeing 30C on two cores and 35 on the other two.
I'm still seeing WHEA errors in Windows. My blue screens, I can't decode. I can see them but none of them match up to what I'm seeing on the guide. I do get random crash BSODs and also Titanfall sometimes will just lock up and crash.
What is truly strange is that on Core Temp, I'm seeing voltages of 1.23 and up, but nothing over 1.3v. On Extreme Tuner, which is what I'm using to tune, I'm seeing 1.42v or 1.43v. The voltages don't match.
Until I started upping the voltage, I couldn't get over 4.5Ghz.
Honestly, I'd like to see 5Ghz....
Is it possible?
Here are my settings right now from Extreme Tuning:
CPU Voltage: 1.460
PCHv 1.059
VTTv 1.020
CPU PLLv 1.653
VCCSAv .925
