I've been trying to run an overclock on my rig, since I just recently got new parts, including a CPU cooler to OC. I seem to be having an issue when I raise the multiplier past 165, as the system just suddenly restarts itself. I suspect it's the power supply, or I'm not giving it the right voltages. "Dummy OC" runs stable, but anything past it results in the system resetting. Some times the system crashes when I'm gaming. For instance when I'm playing BF4 with the clock speed raised, the system just crashes. Hopefully my system will last until x99 Haswell-E, at which point I'll upgrade the CPU/Mobo/RAM/Case.
