I have the following components:
*AMD FX-8350
*KINGSTON HYPERX PREDATOR(2*8) 2133-1.6v DDR3(HX321C11T2K2/16)
*ASUS M5A97 EVO MB
My knowledge of OC is limited. I aim to increase the clock speed to 4.4ghz. My motherboard supports a maximum of 2133MHz. I chose DRAM O.C.PROFILE(2133). Set the Vcore voltage to 1.3 volts at a stable level based on Prime testing, and there were no issues during the small FFT test. I ran it for about 30 minutes. However, the blend test did not fail completely, though performance was affected. I believe the RAM is fine since it's new and passed memtest. The timing issue might be related to DRAM or something else. If you can assist, I would really appreciate it.

The motherboard might officially allow that RAM speed, but your CPU isn't compatible. Consider increasing the CPU-NB voltage.

Sure, I can adjust that. The current specs are 1.15v CPU and 1.6v DRAM. It seems the CPU speed was slightly higher than expected, but the issue persisted. I plan to increase it further and test again. Also, does raising the DRAM voltage above 1.6v make sense?

This document won't help much with low voltage levels.

You're not making progress with such low voltages.
Check the guide at the link you shared.
I understand, but I prefer not to overclock my CPU. I noticed the AMD 8350 reaches 4.4 GHz at its stock voltage. How should I adjust the CPU/nb and ht speed? Should I aim for 2200 MHz each for stability or a slightly higher setting?
Currently, I've set the CPU voltage to 1.3V but the issue persists.

Overclock one thing at a time.
