I failed at ocing my platform quite hard.. my cards just won't let me. I got my cpu to ~4.6 (8350) and I could run OCCT for 2h then it refused, tinkered with the settings but it never got past the 2h mark, I was mad. I don't remember the settings right now but I think I have 'em saved in BIOS.
Tried to go for 1200/1800 on my Sapphire Dual-x 7970 (non-ghz) but it mearly let me do 1100/1650 and it wasn't even 100% stable. I've seen people get quite interesting overclocks and keeping em, guess my card just don't want to. I also considered going for a aio cooling solution for my gpu but I considered it not being worth it.
If you guys are interested I'm sure I can dig up my settings for you.
What volta for that oc? I have the same chip and I have a hard time pushing it as well. I need over 1.5 for a measly 4.7 to be at least 12 hr stable
