Using AS-ROCK OC Tuner for this OC?

would this problem be due to not enough power going thor the cpu

well the asrock motherboard im running is very hard to overclock with bios settings , but with octuner i manage to run my i3560 cpu to 3.7 very stable. but still only runs at 36 degress under load, i tried runing my cpu max by runign a video converter and version of babcompany 2 which did the trick , so um would u be able to suggest a new cpu over clocking program to me plz

Wishmaster is right when she says overclocking software just uses generic settings to achieve overclock results. This usually results in higher than necessary volts as the software (software vendor) has to account for a whole host of systems thus will settle for a middle ground setting.

This is why most experienced overclockers don't use overclocking software since it doesn't include all the tweaks/settings the BIOS has.

No one is saying the software doesn't work, we're saying it may be pushing your settings too high for the overclock, which would show up in your load temps.

Anyway I would suggest you look to your owner’s manual to see what options you may have in your BIOS for overclocking features. And if you don't have any, or are limited, well..... that should tell you something.

And although the software works, and may be your only option, it still can't replace the manual tweaks in the BIOS itself.

BTW you might want to visit an AS Rock forum to see what users there are saying about that board for overclockability, and BIOS updates.

Good luck.

Any yes both myself, and Wishmaster are overclockers, and I can say I've toyed with Easy Tune 6 which is Gigabyte's overclocking software and it DID push my volts too high for my liking.

thank you very much wishmaster and syg.
i took ur advice wish with lowering the voltage to the dram , and i figured out how to over clock from bios but with great stress and still wasnt able to go past the 3.7 mark, i use the 10 percent more power rule with my bios and apemt to over clock the cpu but still not much luck but it let go to 3.7 a lot more stable the bclk frequency is curently at 173 but when i go to go high machine crahes and burns

As I said before.....

I'm sure they can help you get the most out of that board - ASRock > Forum

Good luck.
