So I own an FX-6300 and want to push it overclocked. I acquired an AMD AIO water cooler during my PC's pre-built setup. Of course, pre-built isn't the main concern—I'm trying to increase its speed but the voltage settings seem too high. At 4.2 volts I'm stuck with a BSOD, and at 4.0 with 1.38v my temperatures are still in the 60-70°C range under full load, which isn't ideal. Could it be the cooler or maybe my chip is just not handling it well? My motherboard is an M5A97 R2.0.
