|
Im not sure why, but my processor isn't overclocking as much as it should. I have an AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black edition. Those are suppose to OC pretty high. I also have a Corsair H50 Liquid cooler, which i heard works pretty well. Right now im running at 3.7Ghz (Base is 3.4) I brought it up to 3.9 with no problem, but when i start playing games, it just crashes. What could be the problem?

up the vcore by .0010 or .0.010, try that at least.

try 1.45 and the oc your at, DO NOT PRESS HIGHER THAN A V1.5 vcore
Also some chips just aren't good at OCing since you are pressing the chip to be stressed, some are binned high and some are binned at the bare minimum.

Alright. I got it up to 3.91Ghz with the 1.45voltage. It looks stable since i just ran bench with it. Do i have to do anything with the NB frequency & voltage?

If you can run that stable and cool, good job. That is quite a clock.
