GA-990FXA-UD3 Overclocking problem

GA-990FXA-UD3 Overclocking problem
« on: February 03, 2012, 04:24:04 pm »
So, i got the rev 1 version with F4 bios.Cpu is a fx-8150.  Problem is I want to overclock but the voltage and cpu speed has a mind of its own even at stock speeds.
At stock speed if i run a torture test the speed shifts for 3.9 to 3.3 back and forth. Voltage variable also. The logical path was to stay at 3.6 since I was stressing all 8 cores.

Now when I'm overclocking.
I disable everything, turbo core etc etc, put everything on manual set my desired voltage and my cpu speed to 4.4 Ghz by incresing the multiplier. Then when i run a torture test again it goes back and forth from 4.4 to 3.3. Voltages vary a lot (doesn't stay on my selected voltage). And I cant run a stability test since it downclocks itself when i torture the cpu.

What's the problem ?

Is cool and quiet enabled in the bios?

If it is turn it off.

I maybe stating the obvious so I'll apologize in advanced.
