The specs to my pc is in my sig. I can oc to 4.3 by changing multiplier only but becomes unstable higher multipliers. I've tried going 4.5ghz and upping vcore to 1.355 and thats not working either. I have a multi-steps load-line that I set at 6 still without results. Anyone know how I could possibly get a 4.5-4.8 oc? My temps are great at 4.3 with 59c being highest after 2 hrs of prime.
 
Even if your temps are fine, after ocing so much you'll have a hard time pushing it further. It's just the limitations of the processor. I do have to ask why you want to push further though. 4.3 is awesome if it's stable and you won't really notice a difference by getting up a few hundred more mhz. Besides, if you keep trying to push it, you could end up killing the cpu.
 
yeah, really i don't think you will notice a bit of speed difference in your computer with more, your ram and hdd are almost definitely bottlenecking your cpu already so you won't get it any faster.
 
you should be able to put it at 1.4v, then got to 4.5/6 and go do a wprime stability check or whatever you have.
 
4.7ghz at 1.39 vcore, msll of 6, stable with avg temp of 65c and top temp of 69c

Edit: currently testing 4.8 at 1.395 vcore and 7 msll and getting an error on core 1 after a couple tests, temps look good so far
