    Help overclocking to 5ghz

    I'm stuck at 4.93 (http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=2411457) and I want to at least reach 5ghz. look at the cpu-z to see what Internals I have. Oh, I am using a corsair h80 btw.
    Now for the bios. I'm using the 1402 bios. I loaded the extreme oc profile. Cpu multiplier is at 24. cpu bus 205. I enabled the cpu spread spectrum and extreme tweaking. cpu voltage 1.45, cpu/nb 1.2, nb 1.2, and nb ht 1.25.
    Help is appreciated.

    enabled the cpu spread spectrum.... first turn it off ...bring your ram up to 210 increase nb/cpu to 1.25 try it to start ..

    Disabled the spread spectrum, and boosted the what i think you meant was the bus to 210 and raised the nb/cpu voltage to 1.25

    If your temps are that high under load at you current VCore then I really doubt that you're going to be able to reach 5Ghz, and be completely stable, with your current cooling setup. I haven't seen any honest 5Ghz systems that running less than 1.48v and most are at 1.5v or a little higher and these 8150's generate quite a bit of heat at these voltage levels and to be honest a H80 system just isn't enough to keep them cool.
    Here's some things that may help with that last little step:
    unload the Extreme OC profile, that's for LN2 OCing
    Disable both the Spread spectrum
    Disable the extreme Tweaking, again for LN2 OCing
    up the VCore to 1.48v
    KEEP CHECK ON THE TEMP!!
    I think you've done quite well to have reached the level you have so far, you're well above the curve, CONGRATS!

    I got it! I was able to get into the desktop with the voltage at 1.48 but I couldn't open cpu-z, so I boosted the core voltage to 1.5v. But apparently it was running at 1.48v in cpu-z
