Need live help with overclocking

[tprollisawesome]

I'm really tired of my cpu bottleneck. I have two 760's in sli but when i pull up graphs of gpu usage i only get about 50% on each card 🙁 the cpu i have is Fx6350 and my cpu's resources are being maxed. I know that an overclock wont eliminate my bottleneck but it will help reduce it. Ive tried so many guides and videos but they dont answer all my questions and they tend to skip over things i get stuck on. I have a general understanding of the settings in my bios. I was wondering if one of you guys would be kind enough to maybe help me step by step? or something where i can talk to someone

Is your CPU hitting 100%usage per Task Manager in games?

they hit 98% on some cores

OK then the cpu is bottlenecking.

Thank you for the links i really do appreciate it but my question was maybe i could get some ones live technical help because i know that all over-clocks aren't the same and what might work for them might not work for me.

Start by going through those guides. Then try a minimal overclock. Any problems then post back. Otherwise, up the overclock. Go up in 0.1GHz steps.

which method of overclocking do you recommend? using the cpu ratio/multiplier or cpu fsb overclocking?

 

[i7Baby]

Multiplier.

 

[tprollisawesome]

Multiplier.

ok im going to spend all night doing that and i shouldn't have to mess around with nb frequency and other of those frequencies?

No. Not unless you have a problem.

Ive changed the cpu ratio so that im running at 4.2ghz at stock voltage which prime 95 test should i run? Im currently using the first option.
