Attempted Overclocking on MSI Z68A-GD65/G3 - Won't even boot.

[oggo]

Hello everyone, very recently I decided to try overclocking my i7 3770k because it's time to get an upgrade and I'm not too afraid of messing up. With OC Genie II (the automatic OC utility) my core reaches 4.2 Ghz, and it seems to bump the voltage up to 1150.
I disabled OC Genie before manually changing OC values.
I tried to to reach 4.4Ghz, bumping the voltage a bit, but the PC would get in rebooting loop mess until prompted to revert to default settings.
So I tried to manually overclock but copying the values from the automatic overclock (multiplier=42, voltage=1150) but the results were the same, which kind of puzzled me.
Anyone got any idea what I might have done wrong ?
Obviously the automatic OC must modify some other settings that I was unable to replicate.

try to use only the multiplier and dont touch voltages to see how it does.

Ok, I bumped the multiplier to 44 and it gave me a blue screen almost instantly as soon as Windows loaded
I took it down to 43 (+1 from the default OC) and ran a stress test, seems stable.
This is all with 1150V, which apparently is the default and was actually left untouched by OC Genie.

Reporting back again, today I tried bumping up the clock and voltage a bit and I noticed something weird.
The voltage when changed from [Auto] not only doesn't follow the settings, but seems to revert back to default.
I don't know if this is some added security measure to prevent from frying components as I am quite new to overclocking.
Anyway, I'm attaching a picture of the settings

ow that he is stable at 43x on multiplier activate the xmp for ram and see .

What ?

the extreme memory profile is disable activate it you will see .
