So i bought the following PC
Couger Case 9 Fans
FX 8120
Asus M5 A99 Evo-x
Asus-Nvidia GTX 680
8*2 Vengance Corsair 1600Mhz
Intel SSD 60GB
2TB SeaGate 5400 RPM
Windows 8 (not original)
I got several problems like:
1-I think i have wrong voltage for my CPU and i don't know the recommended one in the Bios and i think i am burning it for low performance
2- my SSD is not realy 6GBs it's barley 200MBs even it's inserted in the 6GB/s second
My main problem is the voltages and the SDD so i really need help guys :\
Thanks
 
The stock voltage is around 1.35. Id start with that and bump up the multiplier slowly and run some OCCT for stability. When it crashes, bump up the voltage a little more to like 1.375. You dont want to go too high on these chips. 1.45V is the max you want for 24/7. After you find how high your CPU will go, then turn to the HT Link and CPU/NB and try to get them up to around 2400 MHz.
 
just like this....
you could try this....
one: go in to bios, hit del at start-up till you get to a blue-grey screen before windows, change to advanced mode.
two: go to the advanced tab, then go in to cpu config and disable cool and quite and everything there on that tab.(c1e,c6 state, apm)
three: press esc and go down one to northbridge, go in there and theres one thing to go in to , there you will see ECC enabled, disable that.( happens on asus mobo's)

now for the overclock......

four: got to the ai tuner tab of bios and change it to manual from auto.
five: got to cpu ratio and change to 20 x
six: disable turbo core
seven: go to ref clock and change to 200
eight: change your ram to the right speed, 1600mhz or what ever
nine: go to cpu load line config and change to ultra high.
ten: go to cpu voltage change to manual and change that to 1.29v

now got to that last tab in bios save and exit.

you should now boot at 4ghz and be stable under full load.

found that 4.6ghz was possible on six core's at 1.464v

need to test your cpu load line config with a heavy load , like prime ,hyper pi or something, watch your voltage and give it a little blip of prime, what voltage do you get under full load, move you load line up or down for increases or decreases to voltage and make it level under full load
EDIT;this is my copy and paste advice for fx.

what kind of cooler do you have please?, the stock will not cool enough, but a push pull air cooler can easily do the 4ghz overclock.

just set the cpu multiplier lower to get 3.6.

wear on the cpu will be lower than stock if your cooling is good enough, the voltage is less than stock at 4ghz.

you can enable cool and quiet by changing the voltage to off-set and then change to - and change voltage by pressing + once (think its .06v)
turn on cool and quiet.

go to hardware monitor in bios, at the bottom change the fan setting to quite it down.

you will need a program called hwtemp to monitor the cpu temp under a full load like prime95 cpu stress test.
http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html
and
http://www.overclock.net/t/137251/prime95

you need to run the prime with hwtemp on and see what temperature you get after 10 minutes, the cpu temp needs to be below or about 61c.

is your psu up to the job? i'm running a 1kw job, its needed in most big pc's

I did the first steps. And its stable 4GHz and perfect. Temp is 50~55 by CPUid.
Thanks for help its much better now. And im using TX hyper 212. The remaining problem is my SSD is very slow even the 7200 is faster than it
