What is your desired overclock?
5.0 ghz
What voltages are you willing to use to achieve that number?
As much below 1.5v vcore.
I have a manual OC of 4.5 water cooled. I used the OS turbo and it clocked to 103.1 or 103.4 blck to 4667 MHz approx. Played a game for an hour and motherboard reached 100 degrees as I was shutting it off. Going by my memory it's approximate.
What BIOS are you using? 0703 award
What settings are you using? Bios does not have vcore or CPU voltage only offset, PLL and load line(auto,enabled, disabled). Which is standard for all the settings. C1E off, C3 off, there is a 3rd C state left on, turbo and speedstep on, thermal protection on, spread spectrum off, first timings on ram set to default manually at 10, 10 etc and 1T. Virtualization off, PLL Overvoltage enabled or auto, Execute Disable Bit off,
Limit CPUID disabled, execute bit disabled. At 4.5 I have bclk 100, turbo all cores 45.

Blck at 100 or lowering ram would take care of the heat. Cores run 70 max, but the mono temp got hot at 4.6. Ram is set at 1.5v. That is only setting I can actually set to an exact volt. Everything else is CPU plus or minus offset. That and the times on the turbo speed.
