I should tell you that your power supply (PSU) can also limit your overclock as well. If you CPU's voltage is fluctuating alot, your CPU will not be stable. Your vcore fluctuates because your power supply either dosn't have enough power to keep it at the desired level or is too poorly made to keep your voltages at the that level despite how much power it can output. That is why it is important for overclockers to buy good PSUs. To see if your PSU might be the problem, go into your BIOS or use Motherboard Monitor to keep an eye on the voltages. Vcore shouldn't range by more than say 0.07v. Your 3.3v, 5v, and 12v shouldn't jump all over the place or be under/over their ideal voltage by more than 2.5% MAX. BIOS readings aren't always accurate. To test your 5v and 12v lines, test a molex connector using a multimeter. Need more info? Haven't you learned already... Google.com!!If you have any suggestions for this guide (something isn’t clear, is inaccurate, grametically sucks, I have a broken link, or you have something to add), PLEASE let me know!! Overclocking is 90% luck... Good luck!</blockquote>
