Now I'm not sure what's going on with Core Temp, as the machine was running idle and it read 0C, which is not a usual reading for a CPU cooled with a stock heatsink/fan. So I launched the ASRock Extreme Tuning Utilities and looked at my core temps there. Now how do I get my offsets to plug into Core Temp?

Core temp is not really any good with AMD cpu's due to the way the temp is measured. Have a butchers at this AMD Temp Information and Guide
I find the best programs for monitoring AMD cpu's are HWmonitor, HWinfo64 and Aida64 which will show a reading for the socket and core but due to the way they're measured the core temp is only accurate from about 40-45c. So use the socket temp to give you an idea of idle temps and the core for load temps.
I use HWinfo64 myself as i found HWinfo show's low voltages on the +12v rail.

Try lowering in 0.05V increments if your board can do it.

Afraid I can't do it easily like most of you can. My motherboard BIOS only lets me select from a drop-down selection rather than use sliders.

There is no slider in my BIOS for voltage........I can however type whatever I want in the box. Most BIOS's will let you do that. You type in what you want and it will use the nearest increment.

Looks some having real fun Oc'in around here lately...:)

I was playing around with settings and noted "Asus MultiCore Enhancement" in Bios along the Intel turbo boost setting.

I'd manage disable it, aswell Turbo setting and set CPU Ratio manual but the vCore was bumping up and down with multiplier from x16 to x4x....

This was not very important to my eyes as it could mean going from 10,2W to 22,3W help the processor at idle not overconsumption Watts. And surfing, doing basics was perfect.

But i played a game and crashed well with Bsod (Bugcheck code: 0xA NT Kernel & System
& 0xA0000001 ATI Radeon Kernel Mode Driver) , then realize i have to lock multiplier otherwise in game i could not play.

Does some follow recommended settings to disable MultiCore, Mrc Fast Boot and so on...because here i can't do it.

One or another but not both!

welp, got my GPU back, and my mobo is about to ship.... LOOK OUT PPL!

Good news mate, I am sure you will be at the top with a 5.6GHz overclock in no time haha.

lol not pushing that hard!
but that would be cool!

I am sure there will be a nice spot for you in the top 10 :)

I missed that conversation did you order all new parts noob?

Well I took the plunge and delidded a 3770K and lapped the IHS. this is the one I used to clock to 52xx. No damage to the die, looks good.

you calling me a n00b!?!?!

ha no, i was having stuttering problems in all games, and finally came to a conclusion that its either my mobo, gpu, or psu. i tested to make sure all components were getting power, then i realized my NB was INCREDIBLY hot to where i couldn't touch it. so i sent my mobo back. took about 3 weeks to get it back, and it was still getiing REALLY hot, so i sent it back again along with my gpu. its been about 3 weeks, and its going to ship by end of this week. i should get it back by next week. the 4th week on the same RMA! but anyway, thanks to Solar for helping me figure it all out.
