Got the same chip.

3.4 is enough for me and enough for most games.

My problem is when I enable AMD overdrive the fan starts spinning up and idling every 5 seconds. Sounds like a car revving it's engine and it's pissing me off tbh
 
And for oc-ing 1090T and 965be youll need a good cpu-cooler,noctua nh-d14 is my preferred cooler. But search for yourself and ask if needed.
 
How are you overclocking? Are you adding to the BUS speed or upping the multiplier?

Upping both is the best way to achieve 4 g's. It's best to raise the BUS speed as high as you can on stock voltage to find the max number e.g. 237.

Then what ever you get to, tweak the multiplier to get as close to 4 g's as possible e.g. 237 base x 17 multiplier = 4029 Mhz freq. Remembering to add more volts gently until the O/C is stable enough for you.

With voltage, I personally keep the "vCore"/"Core voltage" the same as the "CPU/NB voltage". e.g. 1.450v etc etc.

RAM voltage, apply what ever is recommended by the manafacturer and stick to stock speeds, if you wish to o/c the RAM do so after you get the stable CPU o/c.

Hope this advice helps.

Yeh it does help tyvm. I always thought you were supposed to do the Multi OR the FSB. Good advice thanks ill try that later.
 
See the problem i have is, i manage 3.8Ghz at 1.412v... but cant get 3.9Ghz at 1.5v :S. Am i doing something wrong do you think?
