bf4 overclocking problem

[thejoshmeister1992]

Hi everyone . I've overclocked my fx 8350 to 4.4 . On what I've heard is a bad motherboard . The asus m5a78l-m/usb3 . Without the bios . Using ccc overdrive . What has gone wrong . It won't start . And it starts at normal clock settings . Max I think is 4.3 as with turbo on both .

Any help appreciated

''It won't start . And it starts at normal clock settings.'' whats not starting the cpu or mobo?

You can overclock on that motherboard, but the VRM's on the board require extra cooling since they are not heatsinked.

BF4 won't start because you don't have a stable overclock.

It begins to load sometimes it gets to the dice screen normally before . And it says crashed .checking for a solution .

I have the same processor but with the Gigabyte 990FXA and I can get it to 4.4 GHz but i just keep it at stock and go to the Catalyst program and turn of CPU overdrive and try to keep it stable

After you overclock you should run some burn/stress tests for a few hours do determine if the overclock is stable. If the game starts with normal clock, but doesn't/crashes with overclock, your overclock is not stable and causes it to crash.

Read this guide through, it will take some time but will help you get a stable overclock. The CCC overclock is not a good practice for overclocking as you have noticed:

Thanks everyone . I'm now taking the time to read how to do it through the bios and it's pretty easy once you know how . Going to do It that way see how far I get .
