Hey i just bought a new amd fx 6300 for gaming purposes and am looking to do a basic overclock. I went into my cmos and clicked the perfomance button and turned cool&quiet off and that brought my freq up to around 3.8 from the standard 3.5. Played BF3 for all of 2 mins before it froze tried again same thing. The temp is around 35c and it would play it just fine on the stock setting but as soon as i hit the perfomance tab it would causes the game to crash? I am wondering what i need to turn off and on(cool&quiet, turbo boost,core unlock.....) to start overclocking with this mobo and cpu? If anyone could tell me what exacty to turn off and on to even achieve the basic 4.1 overclock for this cpu that would be great. I have read some other forums and such but nothing specific to this mobo and cpu so i get a little lost.
This is my setup;
AMD fx 6300 cpu
sabertooth 990 fx mobo
sli nvidia gts 450 video cards
16G vengence ram 1600
