looking for a safe AMD Overdrive settings for my build..
Currently Turned on my Mobo's OC Genie.
Results 3.8Ghz -> 4.09Ghz

Now I'm looking for more but safe settings for Overclocking my CPU and GPU. (APU)

Anyone can give some ? Thanks :)

Specs :
MSI FM2-A85XA-G65
AMD A10-5800K 3.8GHz
2x4 8 GB G.Skill Ares 1866 RAM

NZXT Lexa S Casing
1 TB Western Digital Caviar Blue HDD

PS : im new to overclocking :)

Well then I suppose you can overclock. The maximum temperature I recommend for APU's is 80C to 85 on 100% load. Anything above 90C risks damaging the CPU. The only other limiting factor is how much voltage you can supply to make it stable. Expect around 4.5GHz maximum overclock. I will not recommend raising the voltage past 0.015 Volts to make it stable.


my temp is current sitting a @ 34 Degrees Celsius , is it not cool enough even in OC Genie mode ?

If it's stable for 30 minutes to an hour, then you have achieved a stable overclock :)
 


Thank you sir :)
