Durvelle , I wouldn't be trying too hard with the voltage and clocks. You arleady have pretty decent OC on it,4.4Ghz is 25% over stock. You would be risking your motherboard and I don't think it pays off for just ~10% more performance. It's already very fast chip, I hope it serves you well.
^ that is one sexy graphics card :thumbsup: Lots of shiny, I like shiny
For reference: mobile procesor stock i7-2820QM@2.3Ghz)
9516 geekbench
5.44 in cinebench.
Sure, price isn't comparable, but it's a mobile sku!
Found the problem. Got it stable at 4.4GHz on 1.380v
I advice you to open a new topic and list all of your current OC settings in the BIOS (and temperature readings during heavy CPU load at those settings, in windows OS).Can you elaborate on how you found the problem?
Currently I'm still playing around with overclocking on my FX-6300, but it's a mysterious thing because I can get a perfectly stable overclock, but then unexpectedly my motherboard will throttle for whatever reason. So now I'm trying to find the point of instability at the lowest voltage possible, because maybe that will minimize the throttling? But it's a pain to have to eyeball the real-time information about the CPU settings to see whether or not throttling will occur - I don't think my motherboard will let me shut off throttling. So the challenge is not getting the chip stable, it's getting it to stop throttling down to a lower multiplier. What was your approach?

I love this CPU im not even going to joke. I am planning on getting a Piledriver but i love this I have water cooling on it 8gb RM and a gtx660. I handle any game on high settings that i have played.
