Hey so i started overclocking recently with my fx 9370 and I want to push it further than what I currently have set, my problem is that my computer after multiple tries isnt stable and sometimes crashes, i am worried as to if increasing the voltage to like 1.6v is bad for the processor disregarding the factor of heat(i would closely monitor that),

Or if my number is low, what is a CPU voltage value to not cross? Also i have an H60i corsair water cooler.

Thanks in advanced

Read the 5th paragraph of this article. I read this a few weeks ago while throwing around the idea of a crazy amd build. It appears the fx 9370 is almost at it's peak performance from stock without some seriously cooling and precise tweaking. It is designed to be high clock speed from factory. I am not sure it was meant to be overclocked heavily.

Having said this, I want to make it abundantly clear that I know very little about overclocking. I ran accross that article and thought it was telling of the proccessor already being at a sort of limit.
