overclocking an fx6300 on a gigabyte ud3

[ShiverMePenguins]

i recently got my gigabyte ga-990fxa-ud3 mobo, and i was wondering how i go about overclocking my cpu on the board? i tried the auto tune function in the "et6" program included with the mobo drivers, and the system crashed. on my old motherboard i simply adjusted the ratio's to 20 and the system was perfectly stable. are there some functions i need to turn off in the bios in order to oc the cpu? also, should i use the amd catalyst center for overclocking my 7970 or is there something more stable to overclock with out there?

edit: sorry for the bad english, its late and i'm not good at english in the first place.

have you updated the bios to the most recent?

turn off turbo and adjust the clock ratio. there is more info here: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/280571-29-need-overclocking-6300-gigabyte-970a

id rather use MSI Afterburner or Sapphire Trixx to overclock a gpu. overclocking straight from the AMD CCC is fine but it is limited.

ty will check it out. gigabytes disclaimer says to not update bios yadda yadda so i didn't try. i also... don't know how. asus was good because its software would do it for me. i don't know how to create bootable stuff.

the highest i got in amd's ccc on my 7970 and still being stable is:

core: 1085 mhz

memory: 1480 mhz

power: 20%

is this normal? i've read on a lot of places that maxing it out is easy... but anything higher than that gives stability issues. could it be that ccc is doing something wonky?

i have a gigabyte intel mobo and there was a program that updated it for me. the disclaimer is tellin you to do it at your own risk. if something goes wrong, your mobo can brick.

get @BIOS

system crashes whenever i try to follow that forums guidelines. system will attempt to startup, fail, and invite me into setup to change everything back to default.
