Hey guys!
I need some help/advice! I'm trying to overclock my FX-6300 on M5A97 EVO R2.0 motherboard, with a Cooler Master Hyper 212 air cooler. My other specs are HD7870 gpu, 8GB Corsair Vengeance 1600MHz and Cooler Master G500 psu. I'm now trying to achieve a stable 4.5 Ghz with the folowing bios settings:
My concern is that I had to set my vcore voltage to 1.493v, because on lower voltages I got red screen death while playing Battlefield 4. I cant stress test the cpu with prime, because it goes above 62°C, so basically I use Bf4 as a stress test. Cpu temperature on idle is around 33°C, while gaming max 50-52°C. What am I doing wrong? I've seen similar overclocks on much less voltages... Is something wrong with my bios settings? And should I be worried about this high voltage? Can I damage my cpu with it? I would be really grateful for any help! Thanks!
