Hello everyone,

I've been attempting to increase my PC's performance for a few days after researching various forums and adjusting different settings, but I haven't managed to exceed the 41 multiplier.

Below are the settings I followed from another guide:
- Ai Tweaker
- Ai Overclock Tuner: Manual
- BLCK/PCIE Frequency: 100.0
- Turbo Ratio: By All Cores
- By All Cores: 41
- Internal PLL Voltage: Disabled
- Memory Frequency: 2133
- DRAM Timing Control: 9-9-9-24-1
- EPU Power Saving MODE: Disabled
- Ai Tweaker CPU Power Management:
- CPU Ratio: Auto
- Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology: Enabled
- Turbo Mode: Enabled
- Long Duration Power Limit: Auto
- Long Duration Maintained: Auto
- Short Duration Power Limit: Auto
- Additional Turbo Voltage: Auto
- Primary Plane Current Limit: Auto
- Ai Tweaker (in the DIGI+ VRM section)
- Load-Line Calibration: Ultra High
- VRM Frequency: Manual
- VRM Fixed Frequency Mode: 350
- Phase Control: Extreme
- Duty Control: Extreme
- CPU Current Capability: 140%
- CPU Voltage: Offset Mode
- Offset Mode Sign: +
- CPU Offset Voltage: 0.010V
- DRAM Voltage: 1.6
- VCCSA Voltage: Auto
- VCCIO Voltage: Auto
- CPU PLL Voltage: Auto
- PCH Voltage: Auto
- CPU Spread Spectrum: Enabled

After setting the multiplier to 42, I encountered a BSOD. The Windows logo fails to appear even in Windows 10. Even when I set the multiplier to 41, the minimum temperature remains around 45°C. If I run Prime95 for 5 to 10 minutes, the temperature rises to 80°C. If I continue the test for 30 minutes, the temperature stays between 80°C and 87°C. I understand this is significant, so I hope someone here can assist me.

I believe you might have just received a faulty CPU and triggered your multi-wall. That's disappointing, even someone who isn't a tech expert could have reached that speed.

ask for the current core voltage using hwinfo or cpuz.

Thank you for your prompt reply. The CPU-z reads 1.29v, and I’m checking if the remaining settings are okay.

Bccode would indicate the cause. Which PSU?

SMPS = CoolerMaster silent pro 1000w
Cpu Fan = Coolermaster 212
不知道如何在Win10中获取BCCode，仅显示无法修复的错误码BSOD。

Dumps remain in the same location and the blue screen display functions correctly. The event viewer also displays this information properly.

I'm familiar with running it at 1.39v for four years on that model and everything worked fine. You might increase the voltage but keep an eye on temperatures. Your lower-end CPU cooler is a consideration.

hal.dll+35f1f indicates a blue screen issue, likely related to insufficient VCore. It’s unclear how much more is needed. Consider running specific tests like Intel Burn Test or Prime95. You might also explore manual offset options. The cooler you’re using, a cooler master 212, appears to be a good choice.

mrfrantik :
hal.dll
hal.dll+35f1f
this error shows bluescreen view,
after i googled it ,it shows its 124 error which means i need more vcore...so not sure how much it should add ..
so few questions
which test should i run..intel burn test or prime95?
should i try manual offset or offset?
and aint cooler master 212 good cpu cooler?
you get what you pay for. yes its a good cooler for its price but its no high end cpu cooler. You should be getting lower temps though so you might re apply thermal paste and try again.
give it more offset. you are totally fine.
