I have an Asrock 970m Pro3 Mobo, and as cheap as it is, it gets the job done, but while playing games, I notice that my CPU is a bottleneck, so I've been overclocking.
Reading up, I hear that it is not safe to overclock too much with a 4+1 phase power delivery motherboard. (970m pro3). Is it safe to do high overclocks (5Ghz) with this 4+1 system? (*I don't really understand what this means)
Right now I am running 4.65Ghz @ 1.3625v and my temps are ~43c on all cores, 40c at TMPIN0
I hear that since it only has 4+1 phase power, it is unsafe to overclock too much, but I can't find answers anywhere!
So do you think it is safe to overclock my FX-4350 to, say, 4.75Ghz?
(Just installed the corsair H60 cooler and it keeps my temps so low!)
Thanks in advance!
