Overclocking My PC

[Zackey_TNT]

Hi i have a F2A55-M LK PLUS Mobo with a A10 5800K SAPPHIRE HD 6750 and a Hardrive of 1TB and A-DATA 2133X 8GB

My iusse is to power all of this there is only a 500W PSU ive had problems overclocking in the past due to lack of power (or what i can only asume that is) And i dont really know what to do and how high i can go i have an aircooler witch keeps the CPU at about 30C when its idleing what do i overclock to get the most out of my setup and how do i tell how much power i am useing? as well as how to do so

The question is what is your power supply? Like the brand and model of it, if it's good then you could overclock it, if it's not then you might have to replace it for a better one if you wanted to overclock.

u have enough power but ur stock cooler isn't Guna b enough to overclock so u need an aftermarket cooler

ill give you the product code

hope it helps

The motherboard has a limit of how much power it can receive, usually these motherboards with single 4 pin CPU headers are pretty much limited to 120-130W TDP processors, I don't know exactly how much power do they provide. Usually with AMD you want that 8 pin CPU power connection as well as some decent vrms and appropriate heat dissipation for them if you plan on doing OC.

It could be the power distribution that can't keep up or the heat on it that makes it unestable.

it wont be the heat due to me knowing not to go over 75C

can't find any info on it

plus your motherboard has a 4 pin cpu connector, so maybe that the problem, you can't deliver much power to the cpu because your motherboard is holding you back

Hyper 212X is my cooler for all of those who need it its from coolmaster and whats specs do you need i have the box and it has alot of specs on it

I'm saying that your problem could be the motherboard, not the psu because of the 4 pin cpu power connecter.

Hmm. What about the ram and GPU can i overclock those? And is it possable to overclock it at all with the power that i can use?

I've got an FX 8320 and R9 270. With my quality 500w Be Quiet! PSU I am able to push my hardware to it's limits (I've had the CPU running as high as 5GHz. Don't worry, it's on an AIO.) without worrying about lack of power or PSU overheating. However, with my old Coolmax 500w it wasn't able to even power my GPU under load with it overclocked. Plus it eventually died due to overheating.

 

As long as it's a quality PSU from a reputable company, I wouldn't worry too much.

do i need to overclock the Core volts to get the cpu to go higher?

not necessarily

if your chip is good you can simply try getting a higher clock speed without giving it more voltage.

if you want more than that - more volts will be needed,also that will add to the heat output of the CPU so watch your temps

i heard about miracle chips hitting 500 more mhz on stock voltages!
