I'm currently pushing an FX 8320 to 4.11ghz on an ASUS M5A97 R2.0 board. It works fine with Prime for 9 minutes, AIDA64 for 8 minutes, and other games, but I freeze when playing Browhalla. Is this my overclocking problem or is Browhalla affected by high speeds?
My BIOS settings are:
cpu ratio:20.5
cpu bus:200
voltage: 1.35
driving timing

30.

Can I keep track of CPU temperatures? It would be useful to understand the current temperatures of the CPU. I believe they might be a bit too high, though I'm not entirely certain. Perhaps checking around 4.0 GHz could provide some insight.

when operating at full capacity it remains between 55 and 60 degrees constant

Your bias setting remains unchanged. The voltage during the freeze event under medium load matches the value observed without a freeze during maximum load conditions.
