Hello, I'm just starting out with overclocking. I've built many computers before, but never worked on this before.
My system details:
AMD 8320 @ 4.0Ghz on a Kraken x31 AIO (Via multiplier)
MSI 990fxa Gaming Motherboard
8x2 (16Gb) Corsair Vengeance Pro 1866mhz
Xfx R9 390 8Gb GPU
120Gb and 250Gb Samsung 850 Evo SSD
500Gb WD Green HD (planning to upgrade to 3Tb soon)
5 x 120mm Fans
Thermaltake Smart Series Sp-750m
Currently I reach 4.5ghz, but it's unstable when using prime95. It seems the memory isn't passing properly, especially when overclocking via non-multiplier settings and the north bridge.
I'm wondering, since I've already pushed the memory to 1866Mhz, should I lower it to 1600Mhz and try again?

Sure, I can rephrase that for you. Could you clarify what you mean by "lowered RAM and then brought it and CPU up by FSB"?

Ignore it, I've already solved it. Performance is stable at 4.4ghz.

Sure, I can rephrase that for you. Would you like me to adjust the wording while keeping the same length and tone?
