[SOLVED] Overclocking AMD fx8370 on a gigabyte 970A-DS3P

[Erikando]

Hello guys, I don't have any experience with overclocking. I would like to overclock my fx8370, and I don't know what voltage is safe and I don't want to destroy my computer, could you help me ? I have AMD overdrive, Core Temp, CPU-Z and Prime 95 installed.
CPU : AMD FX 8370 8-core 4GHz
GPU : GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB
Motherboard : Gigabyte 970A-DS3P
RAM : 12GB
PSU : Zalman ZM600-GS II

Your MB has only 4+1 power phase or VRM, that does not designed for ocing the cpu with TDP 125W. If you have to do it, read these info before you try to oc. And recommend just forget about the oc.
