    So, after finding that I am stable at 172, after ~10 runs of intel burn test and 1024mb TS bench, I tried the TS bench with just one thread. Within 5 seconds of running at 17X (2924 mhz), my m11 BSOD). Note: when all four threads are being used the multiplier is set at 14X and when one thread is being used, the multiplier will reach 14X.
    I know in TS you can limit multiplier speed, however, it only allows a limit of 9X or turbo (I want 14X to prevent single core reaching 2924 mhz). So if anyone has a solution to this that would be greatly appreciated :)
