AMD overclock HELP!!

[syrphic]

hello i have an AMD A10 6800k what would be a safe a gameing overclock.
someone has overclocked at CPU CORE 1.525v CPU CLOCK 5.0 GHz dont know if thats right or not please help 😀

 

[cemerian]

there is no such thing as SAFE overclock, but a small bump like 100-200mhz is relatively safe on mostly all systems

yeah i am on watercooling would CPU CORE 1.525v CPU CLOCK 5.0 GHz work

From the way you formed your question, you need a lot more background knowledge before you start tinkering. If you use those settings with a stock cooler you'll highly likely burn your CPU. There is no single setting that works for all configurations. Not only are all chips different, the power supply, motherboard, RAM all influence the overclock.

Edit: Ok you have water cooling. That's good. But you only want to increase your voltage as you notice stability dropping with the higher clocks... Short version:

Increase CPU multiplier by 1 step, test for 15 minutes with Prime 95
Repeat until Prime95 gives errors.
When there's an error, increase voltage 1 step, test again, repeat until no more errors occur
Start increasing multiplier again.

Follow this until you can go no further. Your limits are your temperature (~62 degrees) and your voltage (1.55v).

there is no such thing as SAFE overclock, as for how far one can go, on amd chips as long as thermals are under control you can go higher, if you are on stock cooler ,you need to buy a better one or forget about overclocking, once you have a good cooler start overclocking it until you reach you desired clock speeds or hit a voltage/thermal wall

it could work depends on how good your cooler is and if it's able to keep thermal in check, if not then no, i cnnot say will it work or not, since i have no idea of what does you loop have, or if its aio, and i don't have your chip which can run hot or cool, depending on your luck in silicon lottery and cooling system

 

[cemerian]

also until you try there is no telling if the chip is even capable of hitting 5ghz, or if the wall is something like 4,7ghz

Overclocking is a risk. If it goes successfull then its ok but if anything goes wrong then your computer will just brick. Overclocking means increase in speed but generates more heat and consumes more power. So if you are a laptop user dont overclock. If you are using PC then overclock at your own risk.

i have an AMD A10 6800K, MSI GTX 750 TI, MSI A88X G45, EVGA 500B 500W PSU, cooler master seidon 120v

i doubt that you would reach 5.0 ghz on that cooler before hitting thermal limits, which in your case is 74c as max temp before the cpu starts throttling, but won't know until you try, if you are lucky and got a good chip you could do it if not then not
