when i power on my pc with amd aod at 3.7ghz, i see a blue screen error and it restarts. any solutions to raise the speed above 3.6ghz? here are my specs: processor amd fx 8320e black edition, motherboard asus m5a97 le r2.0, ram ddr3 8gb single stick, gpu asus r7 370series 4gb, cooling unit antec h2o 950 liquid cooling, cabinet antec x1-e gaming, psu corsair 750 watts.
Purchase the VRMs heatsinks, such as this link: http://enzotechnology.com/mos-c1.htm Install them using the method shown here: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/gcTwtieeQjM/maxresdefault.jpg Add the small fan for the VRMs area, as demonstrated: http://www.overclockers.com/forums/attac...1384710155 Consider acquiring additional quality MBs, more details available at: Or explore manually overclocking the CPU. Refer to this guide: http://www.overclock.net/t/1348623/amd-b...otherboard Since all motherboards with this chipset have a lower power phase count (4+2) and typically lack heatsinks.

You should reach 4ghz by possibly applying an overvoltage, adjusting the CPU voltage to +0.01v and testing. If it doesn’t work, increase the voltage by another 0.01v and retry. After booting into Windows, run Prime95 default test for 6 to 15 minutes to assess stability. If cores stall within the first 6 minutes, raise the voltage and continue testing until you achieve a passing P95 result across all cores (roughly 12 to 15 minutes without any failures). At this stage, you can confirm stability and proceed or aim higher. You may achieve around 4.2ghz, depending on overvoltage limits and component compatibility. Avoid exceeding +0.2v unless using liquid cooling or a high-quality aftermarket cooler; with a standard cooler, stay below +0.1v. Keep an eye on core temperatures during the P95 test—exceeding 60°C indicates overheating and requires reducing voltage slightly.
