i have a stable 3.9ghz but want to take it to 4.2ghz here are the settings in my bios please tell me what to keep each one to overclock to 4.2ghz

here is a picture of my mobo hwmoniter

That motherboard is simply not good enough to overclock on. You should stop trying and set it back to stock clocks. Also, you are pushing your luck trying to run a FX6300 + R9 285 off of that psu.

can u explain the reasons

 

[Sleetz]

I believe you can do it, change your multiplier to x 21. If not go back to your 3.9GHz or stock speeds.

Yeah but don't I need to change the voltage or something

 

[CTurbo]

That motherboard is terrible. It does not have the means to support an overclocked cpu.

The lower the better, especially for you. Try 1.3-1.35 for starters.

It is terrible, but he is at 3.9 already at 31C, and 1.248v.

 

[Sameer25]

So I can't get a higher overclock

 

[Sleetz]

Here is a cheap upgrade.

I have a amd chip

 

[CTurbo]

I am not trying to be mean, and I am not exaggerating. That is possibly the single worst AM3+ motherboard on the market.

 

[Sameer25]

I put the stock fan on the vrms to cool them and I saw someone who over clocked their fx 8350 to 4.7ghz on this board

 

[ComputerSecurityGuy]

The 760 chipset is not good for overclocking it barely handles 95W CPUs. While the FX series overclocks very well you ought to get a 970/990 chipset to overclock.

 

[CTurbo]

It is terrible, but he is at 3.9 already at 31C, and 1.248v.

So? The FX6300's stock turbo speed is 4.1ghz. It *should* easily be able to run that full time at stock voltages. I would not be surprised if it cannot though.

Trying to push it any further than 3.9ghz will likely result in throttling. His best bet is to leave it at stock speeds and hope it can even handle the turbo speed. He may have to disable turbo just to keep it from throttling.

Should I try Oc geniue in the bios

 

[CTurbo]

Let me guess..... it was a youtube video? I can make a youtube video of a FX6300 overclocking to 10ghz if you want. Please don't pay attention to those videos.


Even if somebody managed to boot a stable 4.7ghz, I PROMISE you that that cpu spends 99.99999% of it's time in the lowest low power state the FX8350 has which is 1.4ghz I believe.

No.

No I saw a couple of builds on pcpartspicker and the reviews you can check them out

Turn on the overclocked filter

Like I said if you want 4.2 change the multiplier to x 21 and give it a shot. Maybe go up .1-2 volts if you go through with it. The fact that CTurbo (no disrespect) says you should be at default clock speeds when you are already at 3.9 tells me you might be able to work some magic.

Look at the second pic and tell me the voltage because since I have a bios not uefi I can't put in voltages but add them by I think .125 but I'm not sure

i am pretty rock stable at 3.9ghz i have been using that for 3 days now and no issues or throttling. it now acts like a fx 6350 with the exact same performance i just want more of that performance thats why i am trying to get like a 4.2 ghz. i wont go over that because i want to play it safe

 

[CTurbo]

Well keep trying and let us know how it turns out.
