Think I can push it to 5 no problem then?

Oop. I reached a stable at 4.5ghz. Going to 4.6 causes weird latency and an eventual crash of windows. Tried cranking the voltage up by .0125 at 4.6 and it caused a bluescreen.

The new motherboard is amazing. No stutters or hangs of any sort. Now onto overclocking. My goal is 5Ghz.

You could bust out a multimeter and test all of the contacts. If the motherboard is failing to get proper power then it's because there is an issue with either the motherboard or PSU. MSI just kind of has that reputation to it.

If there is a voltage switch on the back of your power supply make sure it is set to the proper setting for your region.

Make sure to try a new cable. You could also reset the CMOS. Use sata port 0.

Sounds like it could possibly be a power supply issue.

Your motherboard could be DOA. MSI makes terrible motherboards. The same exact thing happened to a friend of mine about a month ago.

Neither. The best way to buy parts when budget is in mind is to buy them used from individual sellers. Some parts are better to buy used, but some parts aren't even worth buying used. Refurbished/ open box items are a great way to save some money too.

Everything feels pretty smooth.

It's a few years old but it hasn't been used all that much. The liquid inside the pump was replaced with car coolant a while back just to see what would happen. It ended up getting slightly better temps. Is there a software that I can use to monitor the health of the pump?

The 8370 came out in 2014 but it's been sitting in a computer collecting dust for years. Barely used. It's practically brand new. My new motherboard will be here on monday (ASUS Sabertooth 990FX). It's supposed to be the best motherboard ever made for the AM3+ platform. I hope it fixes my...

Previously I have stated that I needed to reset the OC because it could have been an outlier for stability. I'm using a corsair H100i water cooler to cool my CPU.

Ok. I'm on it right now.
