Those raidmax PSU's are horrible IMO. It is most likely your PSU that is causing the instability, but to make sure measure your voltagtes with a digital multimeter. However your oc'ing could be affected by other variables such as cpu temp, ram, etc.

it is the PSU more than likely. I use a lot of the Raidmax cases because they make great cases, but their PSU's in them are horrible. Even the high performance Raidmax PSU's only get 13A @ +12v. I know very bad lol...that is why I don't use their PSU's in my high end systems.

mine has 16a on 12v rail pretty bad (just checked) so it is probly the psu . so were can i get the the new ultra x connect for a good price.
thanks again for the help

It also may be your fsb does not go that high that you want it at.
