AMD X4 760K Overclocking help!

[AngryGamer]

Hi guys. I want to overclock my 760k to as high as i can to eliminate a little bit of the bottlenecking going on with my R9 280 and the CPU. I have an CM Hyper 212 Evo and Asus A88x-Plus mobo+650watt psu. Can you guys tell me what settings to change before messing with the multiplier?

That's the first thing you should mess with.  After increasing the multiplier, if it isn't stable during stress-testing, increase voltage.

So there is no settings i have to change? And any stresstesting program and method you recommend?

Before you start OC.. take your time. Make sure you got plenty of time! Slappy OC is bad OC!

 

1.) Increase multiplier by 100MHz.

2.) Boot into windows.

3.) Test in Aida64 or OCCT for 10-15 mins. Did you booted into windows or is it sable? -YES - Go back to 1.)

                                                                                                                                         - NO - Go to 4.)

4.) Increase voltage by 0,025V (or less) then go to 3.). Is it stable? - YES - Go back to 1.)

                                                                                                         - NO - More volts! (untill you reach max temperature you are willing to have with 100% CPU load)

5.) Reached your max OC? Test in Aida64 or OCCT for several hours for stability (24h recommended). Is it stable? - YES - BRAVO you reached your max OC!

                                                                                                                                                                                     - NO - Lower your multiplier by 100MHz or increase voltage if it is still possible regarding temperatures.

 

6.) Anything goes wrong and you cant figure what it is? Reset your CMOS!

 

Max absolute recommended temperature for 760k is 74 degree celusius.

Max recommended voltage for 760k CPU is 1,55V.

Max recommended voltage for 760k CPU/NB is 1,325V.

Try 1.4v 45x multi if you want to do it quickly, then work from there based on stability.

Be sure to disable coolnquiet and c1e when stress testing.

AIDA64, Prime95, OCCT.  Monitor Temps with RealTemp.

Thanks man that really cleared up a lot of things. But should i disable some settings in the BIOS like Cool'N'Quiet etc. ?

Disable C1E.

Cool'n'Quiet may fail to reach your overclock so it may help disabling it also.
