Hi I am having some problems understanding the OC procedure im new to overclocking xD

These are the settings I was gonna change to get a OC of 4.5 using 1.33 volts

CPU Overclocking: Manual
CPU/HT reference clock: 450
CPU Ratio: x22.5 4500MHz
AMD Turbo: Disabled
CPU/NB: Auto (wasnt too sure what to set this as)
CPU over voltage: 1.33
VDDNB over voltage: Auto
Loadline calibration: Auto

Are these settings fine?
 
Solution
Yes, at auto the frequency is 200 (Intel's equivalent is 100).

So 200 x 22.5 = 4500MHz / 4.5GHz)

When you start tweaking the frequency figure, it relates to more than just the CPU/RAM (can impact PCIe slots etc too).
Changes there can make full-scale stability tough. Usually you can eek out a small amount stable though... but usually nothing overly worthwhile.
Might be able to bump to 205 (so 205 x 22.5 = 4612Mhz / 4.6GHz), but should be reserved for the final 'tweaks' to your OC, not a starting point.
In a basic sense, the CPU voltage (which you've left to Auto) is where you'd want your required voltages.

Over-voltage would be the 'cut-off' (IIRC) for voltage spikes....

Otherwise, you should have a solid starting point, depending on the specific motherboard, of course.

4.5GHz on a 6300 will likely take ~1.3V. Start with the 1.33V if you want and, if stable, try dialing the voltage back a little to find your lowest, stable voltag.e
 


I forgot to say its CPU/NB Frequency, So what do I need to do just keep those settings then leave the CPU/NB as auto?
