little bit of help with oc please

Go to solution Solved by Queek,

That sounds like something that Load Line Calibration would do.  Do you have it on Auto in your bios?  If so, set it to something in the middle range that your motherboard allows (each motherboard is different).  

If you want more info on LLC, read the link in my signature.  

hello there people i need a bit of help i have my fx6300 oc'd to 4.7ghz at 1.393750 volts or at least thats what i put in the bios but that voltage isnt static when doing stress test in hardware monitor and cpuz it shows up 1.428 is this normal for voltage to bump up under load i thought it was supposed to be a static figure? also i have a little bit of instability in the form of the pc just freezes at random times no blue screens or anything and itrs fine when in a game or stress testing but it doesnt like windows very much?? any ideas ?? also seen as this is a pretty big oc should i be setting up cpu load line calibration and so on ?? im not the most tech savvy so take it easy on me :) 

 

thanks in advance

whats your temps

it reaches equilibrium at bout 72 on prime 95 for 30 mins quite high i know but only cooled but a 120mm rad soon to be replaced with a 360mm

 

cpuz doesnt always show correct numbers

both cpuz and hw monitor show the same results

Your CPU is not supposed to go above 62C...

Yes in bios it is set to auto as I wasnt to sure about it and regarding temps according to amd overdrive the thermal margin is in the 80s so I know thats fine

MRSMIFFY, did setting the LLC result in voltages more in keeping with what you expected?  Did that fix your temperature issue?

had a chance to mess about with the LLC now after noticing in cpuz my voltage was dropping from 1.392 to 1.323 under load!!!!!!! set it to ultra high in bios and it now sits steady at 1.392 seems to have done the trick no more lock ups or instability :D  

cheers for all the help much appreciated!!!!!!!!!

I'm glad I could help!  Few people think to change LLC when overclocking.  

Make sure you mark the thread as solved with whichever post helped you the most (so that people who come along after you know what to do).

once again cheers matey and i never looked into it when overclocking on the multiplier but i was told you get better single core performance through the bus speed and thats were the problem arouse haha im wondering how much further i can push this little chip now  :wub:
