Hello everyone! I'm in need of help with overclocking my FX-8350. I'm an amature overclocker, but even I know that 1.54 volts for a small overclock (4ghz -> 4.5ghz) is quite a bit.
Right now I'm running my FX-8350 at 4.5Ghz stable at 1.54volts. I've ran a prime95 test for 5 hours, and the socket temperature went up to 66C, and the cpu it self didn't go above 45c. 4.5Ghz and 1.54 volts were the only overclock settings I could get to result in 0 errors from prime95.
Here are my system specs:
Specs:
CPU: AMD FX-8350
GPU: Sapphire Tri-X OC R9 290
Mobo: Asus M5A97 R2.0
Psu: Ultra X4 750watt Modular Powersuplly
Gaming HDD: Western Digital 2TB Black
RAM: 16gb Kingston 1600mhz Hyperx Blu (4x4gb)
Cooler: H100i
Video of my BIOS settings (I'll make a better quality video later):

Can you more experienced overclockers tell me why I need so much voltage for such a minor overclock? And is their any bios settings I can change to give me a higher clockspeed without raising voltage? I'd like to eventually get to 4.8-5ghz.
Thanks!
