I was stuck at 4.9xxGHz for a few months before I finally got above 5.0GHz........but I finally did it. I was only using the BIOS and I was happy that I broke 5GHz so that's where I stopped.

Ok my motherboard simply wont allow any higher than this. Theoretically this should be a 5 as I set the bus to 200 and multi 20 25x but what can you do? CPU-Z Validator 4.0 Of course I know what you're going to say, move the bus to 201 and you will get 5020, but it wasn't having it, would not boot no matter what. I had the cpu voltage on [+.300] I don't 2 places higher and the numbers turn red I am officially done OCing this chip and this mobo, so you can put this in Paul without worries of me coming back with a higher score. I plan to upgrade my rig in the upcoming months....Christmas...I am an Aquarius so I will save up the money to do it. I am very happy that I was able to push this mobo and cpu this far.

Try validating again, it will fluctuate a little on each validation, you might hit 5000 after a couple.
A few weeks ago I read this article and in it, the guy had the same mobo as me and he said to raise the CPU PLL to stabilize. That option is mostly useless for most mobos from what I hear, but on this one, I raised it this last go and ...well It worked.

Excellent, well you certainly worked for the 5GHz plus mate and you suddenly went 100MHz higher so fair play. You can sleep happy tonight lol.

After some discussions between several members, I have created a new leaderboards thread. Obviously there is still the https://www.sevenforums.com/pc-custom-builds-overclocking/251850-post-your-overclock-2-a-73.html thread, but I thought it would...
