INTRO: Briefly about me. I have finally built my first computer after about nine (yes, 9) years of dreaming. The closest i ever got on my first build was some AMD 2.0GHz dual core processor that i bought around 2006. Never made it much further. At the moment i am looking to see what i can get out of this CPU / MOBO combo and to learn more about overclocking in general. I can read everything on the internet but never really understand it until i apply it, and accomplish all the reading i just did to help interpret the results. This is where i ask for some guidance in the whole process.
SETUP:
Case: NZXT Phantom 410
Motherboard: Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0
CPU: AMD FX-6300 (Arctic Silver 5 paste)
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15
Memory: G.Skill Ares 2x4G 1866 (F3-1866C9D-8GAB)
GPU: Asus Strix GTX960 4Gb
PSU: Corsair CX 600M
HDD: Samsung Evo 840 250Gb
Optical: Asus DVD-RW
Cooling: 2 front 120mm, 1 rear 120mm, 2 top 140mm
OS: Windows 7 HP 64

Here are the results of the first run with Prime95. I know what you guys want to see. This is stock with HWMonitor and CPU-Z for CPU and memory.
I have already OC'd to 4.4 by upping the multiplier to 22 and running P95 for two hours with no hiccups on small FFTs.
22.5 Multiplier won't boot windows, But if i lower back to 22 and then reboot and use the ASUS TurboV, it'll run but P95 will crash quickly even with upping the voltage to 1.375 and LLC to High which brought the voltage up to 1.404.
Enough with what i've tried, where should i go from here at stock?
