Cuzzin Chizzy :
Anyone know of any easy to follow guides for overclocking a 990x?
My board is an ASUS Rampage III Formula.
I'm looking for info on both simple overclocking using just the multi (like how far to take it).
And information on more complex overclocking (using voltages and such).
This 980X overclock guide should work wonders https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=6fIu8j36vIE. The Rampage III is a great board for overclocking. What is your full system specs including the Heatsink? Disable anything spread spectrum. Here is a BIOS template.
