Disable c1e, up the voltage to aorund 1.375, 4.5 to 4.8 is doable, not sure if gigabyte put in llc calibration yet, but without it, the voltage fluctions will hurt stability

Anywhere from 4.5GHz to 4.8GHz, the H80 is more than enough to handle the load. I got my 8120 up to 4.2GHz prime95 stable with out touching the volts
