Hi, I have an Fx8370 on a MSI 990FXA Gaming motherboard. I set the OC Genie on, it sets the multiplier to 21.5 and all cores are stable indefinitely. The issue is when I overclock it manually, disabling all necessary options i.e Cool n Quite, Turbo Core ect, I set the multiplier to 22.0 and I get almost instant failure on core 8, rounding error (0.48 expected less than 0.4) so I started adjusting my voltage little by little getting constant core 8 failure all the way to where I am now at +0.05000 V and I am still getting core 8 failure after about a minute of running Prime95. So could it be a issue with the CPU itself or possibly a error on Prime95s part? The whole system is about 2 months old all bought new. Any advice or information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.
