Hello.

I am new here but have been somewhat active on a different overclocking forum for over 7 years. I have decided to switch this forum in hopes of people being interested in more than only de-liding and haswell chips. Anyway, to my question. I have a "stable" overclock of 4.3GHz (Prime95 12hours). I noticed some trouble in Battlefield 3 after about an hour of playing so I decided to test for stability with Prime95 and FurMark at the same time. So far, I cannot get my system stable while running these two programs at the same time. I don't blue screen or crash, but some of the Prime95 workers stop rounding correctly and fail. Any opinion on this? I have lowered my clock to 4.1GHz and raised the voltage a bit but it still fails within 15 minutes. Thank you for your time!
 
Gotta provide screen shots of cpu-z all tabs and temps would be helpful.

Core temps are a problem. Stability is lost past 80c

Sorry to say you just need to seek better cooling. Then it'll get stable for you.
