Computer feels slow after overclocking?

[AC1D911]

I just overclocked my amd fx6300 to 4.4ghz from 3.5 and it feels slower than ever. The temps are extremely good, so thats not the case. mobo: GIGABYTE GA-970A-UD3P gpu: r9 270x ram: 8gb ram. http://

In bios
Disable c1e States
Disable turbocore
Enable hpc (high performance computing mode)

In windows
Goto power option
Set to high performance

Run a prime95 blend test with amd overdrive CPU status tab onscreen.

Make sure all clocks are full speed & arecatv100% load with no fluctuation for the duration of the test run.
Make sure thermal margin doesn't drop below 19c.

Check prime worker windows for errors.

Edit - why are you upping the fsb ?? Change it back to 200 default mate - just use the multiplier .

What cooler are you using??

I cant seem to find the multiplier with this complicated bios? any other names for it? and c1e and turbo core is disabled. the cooler im using is a corsair h55

Give me an hour mate - I have the same board upstairs - in the middle of dinner at the mo.


You've obviously changed the multiplier & fsb though - how are you overclockin' exactly?? I'm assuming now you're using overdrive??

The stock multiplier is 17.5
The stock fsb is 200mhz.

i changed the fsb to 216mhz and the core voltage to 1.375. i changed the cpu ratio to 1.375. is that the multiplier? with all this i achieved 4.43ghz.

Have you run the tests from the info above??

 

[AC1D911]

im running a prime95 blend test atm, but not quite sure what to look at

 

[madmatt30]

Overdrive wants to be looking similar to that while prime is running,100% load,full clock speed on all cores ,temps in green ,thermal margin at least 10c or above.

im not using overdrive to overclock.

just had my first blue screen. seemed to be from prime95. Now i dont really know, the pc is stable but it seems really slow.

If you had a bsod its not stable mate.
Relinked the amd overdrive tab above in more detail .
Its good for checking temps,load/usage while running prime.

hows this looking? http://

edit: just saw what you said earlier, put it in high performance mode, seems to be running well now

Looks solid - just I see no need for the fsb overclock.

It directly affects ram speeds whichbunless you drop the speed first can affect stability.

Run cpu-z post a grab of both the memory & SPD tabs.

 

[AC1D911]

Ok i will do that, but what do you reccomend if i go to 4.6?

lowering the fsb also lowers the cpu to 4.1 ghz. so what do i do?

 

[madmatt30]

Change the multiplier to 22 - highlighted
All the other options should be as shown.

You may have to up voltage slightly to gain stability past 4.2/4.3
