Hello everyone, I'm just starting out with overclocking. I have an FX-8350 and a Sabertooth 990FX r2.0 with BIOS updated, 8GB RAM using Gskill Ripjaws. I've overclocked my CPU to 5.0GHz using the CPU bus frequency, a Corsair H100i with the setting adjusted to 250 instead of 200, kept the default multiplier, HT link at 3250, and configured my RAM to 1600MHz. I've attached more details about the overclock process and the Prime95 error in the images below.

Keep those all the time on my overclocked FX builds. I've had a 6300 @ 4.8, an 8350 @ 4.9 and now my top pick, an 8320 @ 5.0Ghz. To fix them I'd recommend more Vcore, more CPU NB, 2.75 VDDA. Lower your hyper threading to 2400. Set Northbridge to 2200. There might be other tweaks, but these issues are definitely due to overclocking (voltage, incompatible speeds or a mix of both)

I've attached more details about the overclocking process and the Prime95 error in the images below. Have you tried going back to 4.2GHz?
