    The very first thing which I wanted to tell you that you should take care of the thing memory modules are stable. You have to perform Memtest on the Ram module and see whether it is able to work fo you or not.
    Once the memory passes the memtest you have to disable all the things which can cause the issue while doing overlcocking of the CPU. Keep record of all the things which you have done on the same.

    You have to decide whether you are looking to make use of virtual cores which are enabled or not. If you are having the 8 cores you are supposed to get the better performance. Also you have to think about the thermal compound which you are supposed to using. So far I have not used the compound which is having ability to beat the IC-Diamond and also I have get 4C lower over Arctic silver5.
    We know that the high temperature is bad but high voltage is seems is responsible to destroy the efficiency of the transistors. The system might unstable after using the same for couple of hours.
