Ok Brother Bring that V-core down also you need to update that Cpu-z i was wondering why i didnt see a bus speed correct the CPU-z you might be giving to much juice

Seriously take a look version 1.60 x64 you are using version 1.58

Backed it down and now I'm in the 1.440v in CPUZ 1.60, you think I should back down a bit more.

when was your last Bios update that is a huge offset im running 1.449 and the droop goes to 1.41 idle 1.43-1.42 during heavy use never hit the 1.44 but close to it

you shouldn't have to punch that much juice in im thinking you can bring it down and see how stable it is at the v-vore's i typed in if it BSOD then up it but that does not look right

Considering there are 4 types of 8120's out there maybe your's does not need that much juice what was the original v-core to begin with if it was already round 1.38 1.40 then you should be able to clock it high and increase the v-core just a tad

Just saying from here you are overvolting it the standard for just reaching 4.5 is 1.45 v-core you have exceeded that lol your chip could possible do 5 Ghz

Well new snip mine is on target off set from 1.449 using 1.42 vcore so as you can see my offset is very minor and it should reflect the same on yours

I'm upgraded to 1.14 on the bios. This chip is very stable and my source of shut downs prior was likely due to my ram settings but so I can't currently get all of the 2133 it's still a very impressive set up. I'll keep playing with lowering my vcore and see what I yield.

Goodjob maybe that was a need I did another update about 2 weeks ago for better overclock stability im guessing that is what you got as well

Anywho i am off to work tis my last day or my weekend so I will be bringing the PAYNE and the EVIL lol while im off just hit me up

I think that you give up little if anything, but I understand the phenomena (lol) but you have a killer chip.

Have you checked to see if there is a BIOS update available? My motherboard was only AM3 when I bought it, but the last BIOS makes it AM3+
