I raised my multiplier to 19 for all cores in AMD OverDrive and raised the voltage from 1.15 to 1.35v. For some reason Cores 1-3 are showing a clock speed of 3.8Ghz but Core 0 is still showing the stock speed of 3.2Ghz. Any idea of what I could be doing wrong? Thanks!

 
make sure that you have the box checked in AOD where all the multipliers change together.. and like sicklown said.. use the bios to overclock..and 1.42v for 3.8ghz is no where near enough voltage unless you are running the 955 under phase change cooling so that could also be why core 0 is going back to default settings.. you should be around 1.47-1.5v
 
actually i had my 955 be at 3.8 using 1.4625 in bios (1.440 in cpuid) and it was stable, but i found load temps at 55c so i backed down to 3.6 using 1.4 (1.376 cpuid) with load temps of 49c. as all hte others have said use the bios to overclock. the numbers have to do with the motherboard as well as the cpu, so not all overclocks will be the same. use the lowest voltage u can to make your cpu stable. run it through prime95 and occt to ensure a stable oc.
