Hi everyone,
I'm having trouble getting my CPU to run overclocked stably. I've tried increasing the voltage to 1.550V, but most guides suggest only 1.5V works. My best stable speed at that voltage is 3.5GHz, which is still much lower than other overclocks. I think the issue might be with my motherboard, but I'd appreciate your advice.

Specs:
AMD A8-3870K
Asrock A75 Pro4
Thanks,

Every chip runs at a unique speed, their variations might relate to your adjustments.
