so ive been attempting to squeeze as much juice out of my amd fx 4300 as possible. ive seen many post on how people have got them up to 4.8Gh and 5.0Gh but prime95 will crash me at 4.3Gh. i have the FSB at 200, the voltages set to stock, and the multiplier set to 21.5x. i was wondering what i should do to try to get my OC as close to 4.8Gh as possible. my specs are an  Amd fx 4300 quad core vishera, MSI 760GMA-P34, 6 Gb of kingston ram, XFX r9 280x graphics card, and a 600 watt power supply. thank you

Increase voltage by .05v each time until it is stable. Then increase multiplier until it crashes again. And then increase voltage until stable again. And so on. Are you using stock cooling? Also, follow your topics. Click the button at the top right. Welcome to the forums.

Wishing leads to ambition and ambition leads to motivation and motivation leads to me building an illegal rocket ship in my backyard.

thank you guys for the feed back. i am using an after market cpu cooler "air" i spent about $30 on it and it keeps idle temps around 30 degrees Celsius. as far as i can see, my motherboard has not allowd me to up the voltages, the option is greyed out and locked at auto, is there any way i can bypass this?

the only way to unlock features is to find an unlocked version of the bios for your motherboard, which can be a trick in itself
