My PC specs are not the best. I had some issue where I had to return to my old mobo, that means old CPU and old RAM. Anyways, here are them:
-CPU: AMD FX-6300 six core, 3.5GHz
-Motherboard: ASRock N68-GS4 FX
-RAM: 12 Gb DDR3 1333 MHz
-GPU: ADM Radeon R7 360 2Gb DDR5
I know it´s not top of the line, new or super-reliable hardware, but I was wondering if I could get more performance out of somewhere. Here´s when the marvelous idea of overclocking came to my mind. I have never done it before, and I knew that probably is not the best idea, cause of the non-reliability of the mobo. So I looked over in Google, and managed to try some things. The issue comes that when I increase the CPU frequency multiplier, Windows tries to start up, shows the well known blue screen and restarts. So I have to reset the BIOS settings, and everything starts up normally.
I don´t know if to overclock, I also need to increase the voltage relative to the increase of the frequency multiplier or what. I am really new with this, and I don´t want to break any stuff of course. I dont want to fry my CPU at 4.5+ GHz. I want to see if increasing to 3.7-3.8 GHz I can boost up my performance a little bit.
