Stress test it with 20 minutes of Prime95 blend test and see if it is at least tentatively stable and when you do that monitor the Package and CPUTIN temps with HWMonitor open at the same time. Your CPU voltage may not be quite high enough to allow it to be stable at that speed.

Hey how are you
Yes is running perfect i OC to 4.6 to get a little more FPS in Flight Simulator X because everyone knows FSX uses more CPU than GPU. If the CPU isn't stable i would crash right away. So far i tested today no crash no nothing. In the past when OC with my old rig if the OC wasn't stable with voltage fsx an the PC will just crash an give me a BSOD . But now it is amazing one thing i notice is that when target a certain speed the CPU Manual Voltage it kind of tells me how much voltage i would need. I don't know if it is just me or i am seeing things . But so far when i raise the voltage a little higher my PC seem to run faster. My concern is now should i leave CPU /NB Frequency on AUTO also the HT LINK SPEED?- Thread Starter

As much as it takes to keep it stable. Stress test first to see if you need any more voltage. If you get a blue screen, restart, lock-up or one or more of the Prime95 core workers drops out then you need more CPU volts. But first we need to test and monitor temps. Are you using the stock cooler? What Ausus motherboard model are you using? We also need to kow more about your hardware.

Thanks so is best to leave it at Auto . I mean am not having any problems with it at auto just wondering if it will make a difference in performance by manually setting the CPU/NB Frequency.

Like I said read the link. This is and OC forum so yes there's more performance to be had. This is going to take some work on your part. First put up a signature like you see at the bottom of my post. Give as much detail as possible about your machine, including your case, PSU etc. I have a pretty good idea of what you're running but others don't. We help alot of people so having your signature is very useful. If we want to know something we don't have to scrool back to see what you have cause it's there with every post.
Then read that link and get familiar with the different parts of your BIOS. You're gonna need this if you're serious abbout making that machine dance.
EDIT: Like I said earlier if you're happy with it then auto is fine.

I understand that is why i ask what is best an try to learn from those who are experience enough in the overclocking world like you guys
. Thanks for taking the time in helping me.- Thread Starter

Thanks Bro i did what you ask an listed my spec below it looks a bit like yours. I really should have not purchase that SSD an really look into a new GPU but it is find i like the MSI 560 TI TWIN FROZR

Yeah you could have bought 2 GTX Titans and still had change! Either way, do like Trents asked and run Prime95, check for stability. While prime is running open up HWMonitor (free version) and take a snip of it and post it along with snips of CPU-Z main,spd and memory tabs.Thanks Bro i did what you ask an listed my spec below it looks a bit like yours.

This will give us a good idea of what's going on under the hood.
