The CPU? The board? I need to experiment some more with the voltage now the OC has "settled", but at first when I was testing it, Cinebench would freeze the system up and I had to hard restart(I have a button for it) and a Catzilla would freeze when preparing to run the benchmark. Now it has settled, the temps are ok, but summer is coming and ambient temp is a lot warmer, so I either need to get the voltage down or run at a lower overclock.

That question was actually for Mike you have a good reason to run 1.49 volts i can't say the same for him looks like his chip is not that good to need that much to maintain 4.7 or he could of just put too much and didn't change it i don't know just pointing it out lol

Ok finally got it figured out. Bottom line, just needed to increase the voltage a little more. Now all the tests run fine on PerformanceTest 9.0

Did you mean ME???

Or me ? I'm also Mike, old and run processor at that voltage.

Yup.....lots of us Mikes around...LoL

Here is a screen shot......you figure out the voltage I'm running at...

OldMike yes you running 6700k 4.7 at 1.47 volts

You run AMD that is a voltage Hog i was telling OldMike he is using some wild voltages

Next time i'll make sure to use the name accordingly lol

It's a early morning still trying to get motivated lol

Can't go lower thou.....don't know for sure IF I put the right amount in my spec's thou, as I have changed it so many times in the past month.

That's why I posted that pic....which I just took. My temps stay pretty cool almost all the time thou.

I'll take a screen shot of it in my bios....Running is Adaptive mode also.

1.488 looks like. Mie is set to 1.45 but never touches it, it peaks at 1.449, and I can go as far as 1.52 on the board, although I never had too. The 1.45 also let me run 5.18986 MHz(soooooo close!) using 1 core @ 1 thread using 52x 99.8 MHz(had to drop base clock from default 100 because I was getting a horrifying BSOD loop, that I could only escape by clearing the CMOS, which put me back to my BIOS versions default settings, so couldn't make the 5.2).
