Hy Guys!

I need your help, I have the above setup with a nocthua NH-L12 cooler, 1000W Akasa power supply, 8GM RAM.
I struggeld a lot with my first CPU, which I couldn't overclock above 41MHz, reagardles what I did. (It wasn't stable at 1.3V and 42MHz) I read all the guides, tried everything. The CPU base voltage was 1.074V, and according to guides this considered as a bad CPU sample, and that's why the reason I couldn't overclock. I decided to replace the CPU, and hope for a better sample. The new CPU base voltage is 1.056, but still I can't get anything stabel above 41MHz. It currently running on 41 multiplier with 1.17V. But regardles of the voltage I can't get anything stable at 42 multiplier. My aim was 45, and according to the guides, this should have been acivable with the base voltage for anybody, and my cooler is capable to cool this CPU on these settings. so I'm really strugling what the issue is.
Please help!

Not sure what guides you are looking at but very few CPUs are getting to 4.5GHz at stock volts.

Please try this in bios.

Mode of OC XMP profile, that sorts the memory out.

Now set your multi to 42 I do not see you getting much more than that with the cooler you are using.

Digi+ to medium.

Voltage set to manual 1.260

F10 and enter.
To help us help you - please provide as much information about your system and the problem as possible.
