In the dropdown where you can choose between Auto and Offset core voltage there should be an option called "Manual".

I have a z77extreme 4 mobo.

What number should i put in for the voltage?

[Butler to Baby Sloths]

You shouldn't need to change the voltage for a 40x modifier overclock, I have 4.3GHz on the stock voltage (something like 1.15 or 1.2V or so).

So your CPU off set voltage is 1.2v

i tried that either +1.2v or -1.2v
which one is it for 4.3 OC

[Butler to Baby Sloths]

No, the CPU voltage is somewhere between 1.15 and 1.2V. Google an overclocking guide for your processor and motherboard combination, I have a different motherboard and thus my settings won't help you much.

Someone help me.

I tried 4.5ghz with +1.35 Offset CPU voltage and it got 81 degress C on a stressful test on intel burn.

So i put the offset back on auto and just put the clock at 4.0 and it got up to 73 degress celcius on test with 212 fan.
