I'm currently trying to OC my FX-8320 on my M5A97 R2.0 with a Cooler evo 212 and DDR3 ARES 2133 ram (2x4G). I am able to boot and run at the stock voltages (CPU-1.38125 & CPU/NB-1.1875) at a core multiplier of 21 (4.2 Ghz). When i bump it up to x22 the system fails the prime 95 test within about 10 miutes. I have tried increasing the CPU voltage and/or the CPU/NB voltage but the system completely locks up when I apply the changes (using AI Suite II for Overclocking). Why is it crashing when I increase the voltage?
