Gigabyte EP35-DS3P Overclocking issues

[slugzkea]

UPDATE: crashed at 4ghz. upped vcore, frames in drop zone again.

UPDATE: Reverted back to stock, applied load calibration. Load calibration bumped up volts once I started hitting above 3.4ghz, going from 1.225 to 1.236. Now what i've been doing since I'm in the 3.71ghz zone is applying the vcore manually to match what load calibration has been setting it to.

Example: in bios, for 3.51ghz, bios read 1.236v but in windows, vcore reads 1.225v. Once instability kicks in, I would manually set the bios's vcore to 1.236v and stability seemed okay. Before, I would never touch the vcore (would also be at default) and load calibration would just notch it up once in a while depending on what frequency I set the CPU to.
