Hey everyone,
I tried following this video tutorial on YouTube...but that wasn't working out for me. (Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9uXysmgPi8)
Basically I'm just trying to do a simple overclock, where I can keep the stock ram timings (if possible). Ideally I'd like to get 4.3 or 4.4ghz stable, nothing too crazy. The method shown in the video caused some failures in Prime95 on both "small FFT" and "blend" modes. A few times I brought the Vcore up to 1.4 or a little over, running at 4.4ghz, and Prime95 would freeze as soon as I'd begin a test. I also played around with the ram voltage, brought that up no higher than 1.65V...and still had the same outcome.
I use CPUID HWMonitor for checking temps and voltages. Prime95 is my stress testing app of choice.
Can you guys help me out with this, I'm still fairly newbie at overclocking.
System specs:
AMD FX-6300
GIGABYTE GA-970A-UD3P (REV. 2.0)
EVGA GeForce GTX 750 Ti FTW Edition
CORSAIR 16GB (4 x 4GB) Vengeance DDR 1600
CORSAIR 520W HX Series PSU
Seagate SATA 1TB Desktop HDD
Corsair Carbide Series 300R Windowed Case
Corsair H60 CPU Cooler
