So I overclocked my FX-6300 on the GA 970A-UD3 rev 3. I managed to get it at a 'Stable' 4.5Ghz.. The problem now is.. it's stable when the pc is on... the turning on is a bit weird. The pc powers on for 1 second, goes off, turns on normally. Now I've seen other forums that talk about this...

So the fact it boots a bit.. weird with the whole boot for 1 second, turn off, boot normally is not something I should worry too much about if all is stable and working?

At the time I build this rig I didn't know too much about motherboards (had an old rig with an asrock mb) no idea what board to buy and at the time I had this friend who loved the whole dual bios feature, it sounded handy. But yeah looking into it more on other forums this probably won't work...

Build my rig end last year, only bothered with the video card, rest is pretty budget Haha... So.. will I seriously damage anything when leaving it like this with the boot? and yes, probably getting new mobo somewhere this year :)

Running prime 6 thread stress testing it got up to 40c max after 2 hours. But I'm afraid I have to give up on overclocking :( This board is killing me, getting strangled by the gigabyte boot issue. Where after overclocking it will attempt to boot for 1 second, give up, then boot normally. Have...

It booted normally now, thanks for the help. So it turned out I just had to reboot my computer after applying overclock.. Well I feel silly now :P Glad that problem is gone

Seems to have rebooted normally now. and yes when having bios on 'optimized defaults' it's all good with booting

I ran prime yesterday 3 hours. It's all looking good just that booting that's worrying me a bit. I'll try rebooting now

So I recently overclocked my FX-6300 to 4.5Ghz on my GA 970A-UD3 board. Now I'm pretty happy with the stability I was able to get out of this... but one thing remains. From the start when having the tiniest amount of bios settings changed the PC wouldn't boot normally. It'd turn on for 1 second...

After a few days of upping the clock and testing other settings. voltages, power settings. this is my final settup (screenshot was from when I was playing the new dayz, as the arma series was the heaviest game I could think of) http://postimg.org/image/h3j6sqddv/full/ testing with prime now...

I decided not to stress it this time and run the more heavier games I own (crysis 3, metro 2033) It all stays stable http://postimg.org/image/h3j6sqddv/full/ Thanks for all the suggestions and help with getting me through this

In games clocks stay stable, Clocks throttle only under prime stress test
