The temps are okay, what happens is I get BSODS and my system crashes. I have tried raising voltages in the past, I suppose now that I actually know what I'm doing I might have a better chance, but my computer has been working for so long I'm a little afraid to touch it :P.Brean24
Well, just save your OC profile. You can always just fall back to it if your new OC fails. It could be the limitation of your motherboard, not your CPU. It's most likely unstable after 4.3GHz. Sandy Bridge i5-2500k can overclock really high up to 5.0GHz granted you have a capable motherboard and cooling system. So I'm 99% leaning towards that. Have you tried raising your CPU PLL voltage above 1.832+? Don't go over 1.89.
At 4.3GHz, I don't see why you'd want to OC more unless you're just OCD about it. Â If you want to see a small increase in performance, get a water cooler and take it up to 5.0GHz :P
