Posted September 25, 2014 Author Overclocking Unfortunately, I don't have a golden chip, but all well. I managed to get the CPU at 4.3 GHz with 1.3 volts, ran OCCT for 5 hours and played a few games, no crashes.. Tried going for 4.4 to 1.35 volts and it BSOD. I'm happy with 4.3 GHz it won't make a hole lot of difference between the two.

Posted September 26, 2014 Why you 900d with no WC??? Because the radiator section of the 900d restricts airflow to radiators.
