Overclocking an FX 6100 correctly?

[Guest]

I am trying to OC my 6100 and got it to 4.4Ghz, that seems to to be my top limit...

what would be the max base clock that I should use? I have mine set to 220 to achieve this clock...I don't think it's that great, I though these chips could go higher-

Voltage: 1.4125
MOBO: ASRock 990fx killer
Cooler: 212 evo + aftermarket paste

I can go all night with Prime95 but as soon as I try anything higher my 5 and/or sixth core will error out.

as an additional question- what is a reliable wayto measure the temps of the CPU? Coretemp says it is maxing 156F of its max 157F and that seems WAY off...

some are built better than others and most cpu's have weak cores so on the fifth and sixth core just lower the clock to around 4.0GHz while leaving the rest at 4.4GHz. you can try this but i cant guarantee it will work.

Your talking like your at 1.5volts (I'm not suggesting that at all). Give it a little cpu northbridge voltage to see if it stabilizes. I only tell you that because my 8320 needs that to calm down @4.6. I just think you need to up the volts. Do you have LLC on? Did you take all the other things (ht link, nb frequency, ram speeds, etc) into account because your overclocking by the fsb? We need system specs! Some screenshots of CPU-Z and the like would be very helpful also.

I don't think that is an bad overclock for an Bulldozer CPU @ those volts. That is just me though.

the motherboard is a asrock 990fx fatal1ty with corsair vengeance 1600 ram

the ram is a little bit over 1720mhz- I am away from that computer and cannot give exact numbers yet
Increasing the fsb will prevent boot so I have been trying to increase the multiplier after that point.

...I have tried 1.5 volts...didn't make a bit of difference there...
The northbridge voltage might help, I'll try that out!
