The overclocking is an art, and above all, is not particularly comfortable. Change a few settings in the BIOS, restart it, pass stress tests and if all goes well go back to the BIOS to turn up a little bit of some parameter. After 2 hours I tried a much lower frequency and things worked out here. So the conclusion that if you want to overclock at a higher frequency then you will need a better cooling support for your system.
