How to Increase CPU Voltage?

[nerodas463]

I am using AMD FX-4300 and MSI 970A G43 motherboard.

I have a decent corsair VS 550 PSU. Help ASAP!

Can't google it? 

 

You do it in the bios

Is your cpu even unlocked?

I wanted to know what volts should I choose.

The choices are like :-

.526

0.955

and it goes on!

What should i choose??

It should let you type in your own number.

 

Like 1.125 or 1.25 or whatever you want.

 

Only increase voltage if you blue screen when you up the multiplier

You would start with just a small increase then stress test if unsuccesful increase more until stable or max temp exceeded

Well Intel has the K series but for AMD I'm pretty sure you can OC any chip. At least for the FX series

No it doesn't.

A pop up menu comes up displaying the numbers and i have to choose from the options.

Ive never had an issue over clocking a FX chip with no "special" series or name.

And buddy I just looked into your Mobo and I would not OC with it 

 

The Mobo can get too hot and break. The VRM on it s bad. The board was not made to OC.

Then it's unlocked, but because i am not familiar of your motherboard i can't help you further

Yeah that's just part of the BIOS. Any board will have that.

 

And the genie will OC it for you if you turn it on but it won't be much.

 

But if the Mobo is the same one I found online don't OC with it

Well I suppose if it was tiny sure.

 

The issue is your Mobo doesn't have heatakins on the VRM so it won't dissipate heat fast enough if you OC so then you'll need to buy a whole new Mobo. Not a fun thing to do
