Hi there, I hope you can understand what I need.
I have the following components:
FX 8350, Aura Gaming ASUS motherboard
2x 8 GB Corsair Vengeance RAM
CX750M Corsair Bronze PSU
DEVIL RX480 8GB GPU

My setup includes a custom water loop with triple radiators, high-quality waterblocks, and a pump. I also have a thermal take core X71 with around 14 fans, which should keep things cool.

I've configured the BIOS with Cool and Quiet disabled, leaving only advanced settings except for core 6. Overclocking voltages is set to manual, and the CPU and GPU are powered at high boost levels.

I can maintain a stable overclock on Prime 95 with 4.4GB RAM, but once I push the manual voltage higher—especially during Prime 95—it jumps by about 0.04. This causes the CPU to lock up, which is concerning.

Additionally, I've observed that the motherboard temperature in HWInfo64 reaches around 80°C before the system locks up. The heat sinks on the south and north bridges are extremely hot, which seems normal?

Looking forward to your advice.
Best regards,
Tim

It's attempting to maintain its pace with the tasks it undertakes, consider increasing the vCore.
