What should I do about the NB VID on AMD overdrive, I see that my current NB VID is running at 1.2250V, but AMD is setting target at 1.1625V, I just want to lower my CPU VID to 1.35V. Do I leave the NB VID slider alone and go ahead and change my CPU VID or do I have to modify my NB VID and...

I need help using AMD overdrive as I am confused. What is NB VID, and should I change it? Why is my HyperTransport Link Speed at 0mhz? And why is my PCIE speed at 0mhz. I just want to lower my voltage to 1.35 V. How do I go about doing this in AMD overdrive? (PICTURE BELOW)

I learned how to build my computer by watching a LOT of youtube videos of how to build a computer. The videos that helped me the most was Austin Evans on youtube, he has a very good tutorial on building a computer.

Whenever I play a game or launch something intensive, the voltage shoots up to 1.440 volts on my AMD Athlon X4 750k,my motherboard is gigabyte f2a88xm-d3h. I want it to be operating at 1.35v when I launch something intensive because that's the stock voltage and my temps are too high. How would I...

Also what is HyperTransport link Speed and HT Multiplier?

I built my computer in March, and I have been experiencing high temps. I tried reapplying the thermal paste and even bought a new heatsink. I think I found the source of the problem, my cpu(AMD Athlon x4 750k) runs at 1.400-1.450 volts and my speeds are at higher than stock. I haven't...

I been getting random reboots and figured it be the 24 pin power connector because when I was building the computer the 24 pin connector from the psu won't clip and afraid to break the motherboard from pushing it in. So any special method to push it in without breaking the motherboard?

The x4 is basically the a-series apu without the igpu functionality. So if you are building a computer with a dedicated graphics card then the Athlon x4 750k or 760k would be ideal.

Just built the computer loaded windows 8 and my idle temps are 40-50c is OK? I will probably get a new aftermarket heatsink some day, any suggestions? Also mobo is fm2+. Was very surprised that computer booted up first try no problems, as I rushed it and it was my first build.
