Hi, I would like to know what do you think about this overclock.

Motherboard: MSI A55M E33
CPU: Athlon x4 750k
Cooler: MasterCooler 212 EVO (not a high end cooler at all)

I managed to overclock it to 4.7Ghz. It was a stress made with AIDA64 for more than 3 hours
IDLE Temp: 35ºC
FULL LOAD: 47ºC
VCORE: 1,450v

The first question is that what do you think about this overlock, is it okey?


I know that the max temps this cpu can reach is 74ºC so I decided to get it to 5Ghz. So I put it to 5000Mhz in the bios and I started the pc, but it keeps restarting without giving me a BSoD (a blue screen). So that makes me think that Im doing something wrong.. can you tell me what is it?

You have to modify the voltages to stabilize a CPU at a specific clock speed, not just the speed you wish to run. Even if your motherboard has the ability to auto-set all of these values for you, it might not be able to do so in a manner that supports the clock speed.

On my mobo im only able to change clock speed and once my pc restarts to Windows I change it with AMD overdrive.. And the thing is that I bet that I can reach 5Ghz and not passing 70ºC for sure.. Isnt there another solution?
