how should i oc

[Prokart2000]

hi guys so i want to oc (specs in sig) but i know i cant go too far so how shall i start it off and progress

thanks

OCing the graphics card is really easy because you can just download Afterburner or Precision X, there all basically the same with different skins, and slowly increase clock speeds until your card won't go any higher  and use some sort  of stress test to check it's stable. As for CPU, you will have to do that in the BIOS i believe, although i have never OCd my CPU so im not sure how to go about that

yes im on about the bios and cpu

AFAIK, overclocking FX chips is basically just slowly cranking up core clock and voltage, nothing else. Same goes for the GPU. For the CPU, increase in 100MHz steps and stress test for a few hours to determine if stable or not. If not, take a look at the temps and decide wether to add voltage or subtract clock speed.

but if you look at my specs i cant really add voltage

[Prokart2000]

also is this a good guide guys:http://www.overclock.net/t/1348623/amd-bulldozer-and-piledriver-overclocking-guide-asus-motherboard

is that because of your motherboard? I have no idea about AMD chipsets, sorry

[Prokart2000]

yes

any fx overclockers?

[Prokart2000]

any1??

[spwath]

any fx overclockers?

Yes, if you read my topic on this forum, called "overclocking live now" you will see me in the process of oc my fx-6300

[Priller]

any fx overclockers?

 

Yes.

 

A 4+2 power phase and the board options may give you some issues.

 

First thing. 

 

Look in your bios. What options do you have for LLC?

[spwath]

any1??

Yeah listen to what @Priller is saying, he helped me get a nice OC that im working on right now. I got my fx-6300 up to 4.3 GHZ from 3.5Ghz. SO far its stable, but im stress testing now.

[Prokart2000]

Yes.

my board isnt good for adding voltage but apart ftom that its good

[Prokart2000]

my board isnt good for adding voltage but apart ftom that its good

look at the guide, and on there it says llc on my type of board causes issues

[Priller]

I need to know what LLC control your board has to help you move forward with an OC.

what i mean is there a re reports of it not being stable with llc

[Priller]

what i mean is there a re reports of it not being stable with llc

 

Only one way to find out.

[Prokart2000]

Only one way to find out.

i cant up the voltage much so to start shall i put the settings off the guide and up the multiplier untill i its unstable

[Priller]

i cant up the voltage much so to start shall i put the settings off the guide and up the multiplier untill i its unstable

 

I would have everything at stock. Set Ram timings and voltage manually. 

 

Set LLC to High or very high.

 

Run Prime95 blend and see what type of voltage drop and temps you get.

What is your voltage at idle, voltage under load and what is your LLC set to?

[Prokart2000]

What is your voltage at idle, voltage under load and what is your LLC set to?

as i said this is stock im gonna get some fans to put on my vrm before i change stuff

idle is 0.9-1.25 reigon bouncing around

so yeah stock is 0.9-1.25

[Prokart2000]

gtg for a bit post info if you can

[Priller]

as i said this is stock im gonna get some fans to put on my vrm before i change stuff

idle is 0.9-1.25 reigon bouncing around

 

Set CPU voltage to 1.375 and LLC to very high. The load voltage should be very close to what you set in the bios.

 

Set ram timings and voltage manually.
