So I have my 8150 OC to 4.5ghz with nice cool levels. Just using the multiplier, but when I run the blend test it fails within about 5 minutes. My RAM is clocked at 1499 MHz. I'm using Corsair DDR3 1333 MHz. Is my RAM causing this issue? What should I do to pass the blend test?

Are you certain the base clock or bus wasn't altered? Or was it changed without your input?

If only the multiplier adjustment was used, stability might not be fully achieved. Are there any other tests you need to pass?
Post CPU-Z images - Focus on CPU, Memory and SPD sections.
Blend tends to affect memory, so reset RAM to default.

Sure, I can help with that. But first, I need to learn how to take a screenshot. How do I share those pictures? Sorry, I'm just starting out.

So when I increase the multiplier, my RAM reaches 1499. There isn't an option to revert it to 1333 anymore, so what should I do now? Can a RAM running at 1499 still function properly?

"prtscn" key and then copy - paste into paint, Make an account at imgur.com, load the image there and then paste the link here.
Before you do all that though what main board are you using? There should be an option in BIOS to disable the RAM overclock.
