Gigabyte GA-970A-D3 voltage

[eleventhdoctor]

Hello,

I want to increase the CPU clock on my AMD FX-4130 from 3.8GHz (stock), to 3.9GHz or 4.0GHz without increasing the voltage.

Because everytime i use Amd OverDrive to increase the CPU clock,
the voltage also goes up and my computer freezes/crashes while gaming.

I have a Gigabyte GA-970A-D3 motherboard, and i wanted to know how can i
manually set the voltage in the bios? I don't know which setting is exactly.

I dont recommend doing so. if increasing the voltage makes your pc crash, increasing the clock will proabably just be unstable anyway and will also crash
also, a 0.1ghz overclock is.. barely an increase and you wont see ANY measureable performance bumps.

you need more voltage to run higher clocks or it will become unstable, and if its unstable at higher voltages, it probably wont go any higher.

If you REALLY want to, I can help with pictures of the bios (but its probably old bios so no fancy 1 click upgrading)

Yea, i just want to check if the PC can handle those one or two GHz up. I know it's not much and it's not a proper overclock, but it makes a bit of a difference in The Witcher 3, i can see a difference in the fps. The reason why i even wanted to try this in the first place.

And yea, It's an old bios. The one with the blue background. As far as i understood, only these were related to the voltage.
