Hi!
I'm thinking of overclocking my CPU (and nothing else), and I'd like some advice. As the title says, I have an AMD Athlon X4 750k with four cores at a stock speed of 3.4 GHz.

I also have 2x4GB Ram (1600 MHz, I think), an MSI A78M-E45 for a Motherboard, an MSI Radeon R7 265 GPU with 2GB GDDR5, and a 430-watt PSU.

My cooling system is a third-party huge heatsink with one fan (room for another).

^ that's kind of not possible mate , at least not due to overclocking.

Your results using oc genie are fine , 1.4v is a little more than I'd like but it would seem the 750k does need a bit more than usual when overclocked
