A8 7600 non k overclocking problem

[nobiggieBIG]

When I oc the cpu to 101 on the multiplayer, my second screen doesn't turn on.

 

i can however oc the GPU, I got 200mhz extra

To my knowledge and to what I have seen online the A8 7600 is locked CPU. It was not designed to be overclocked.

Usually k refers to whether a cpu is able to overclock or not. Seeing as it is a non k variant that would lead me to believe it is a locked processor meaning it can't be overclocked. That's likely why it won't work when you try to.

I've seen it be done with other chips, you adjust a setting and it does over lock but it disables one of the monitors haha

What's the point though?

Well, if I can get it stable at 4ghz on boost, I don't need to buy a x4 860k as there would be no point

The overclock on the gpu could be the problem that your second screen is not working, but what motherboard are you using because not every motherboard cant overclock so please provide your pc spesifications

Does not look like your motherboard supports apu overclocking

Gpu and cpu overclocking is two diffrent things -.-

here let me explain. im trying to overclock my cpu NOT GPU and when i get 101mhz on the multiplyer, it doesnt show the second monitor

In computing a multiplier, CPU multiplier, clock ratio, clock multiplier, CPU Core Ratio is the speed ratio between the CPU and the FSB. For example, a CPU with a multiplier of 20 and an external clock of 133 MHz has a CPU speed of 2.66GHz.

Let me explain. The A8 7600 is not an overclockable chip. That is why the monitor is not working. If you searched online you would see this.

i did, and some sites say its possible, and some dont

Listen to the ones that say it cant. It is also possible that you could fry both the A8 7600 or/and the motherboard. Which in that case you would need to buy a new combo anyway.

ok, can i overclock the GPU?

Yes you can. Do 5%-10% at a time,

msi afterburner or just in the bios

MSI afterburner but I prefer Asus GPU Tweak 2

Let me just ask this, because there might be an oversight. When you talk about GPU overclocking, are you talking about an "external" GPU? Like one you put in an PCI-e slot? Or are you talking about the GPU which is baked in the CPU. (overclocking the APU or a real GPU)

the on die chip.

There you go. Non-K APU can't be overclocked? That means that the GPU part doesn't overclock too.

 

When people say it CAN overclock, they will most likely have to give up features. Seems that if you get an 200 mhz OC on the GPU part of your APU, you loose the second screen option. (you are cutting corners, power has to come from somewhere, most likely the second screen)

 

To add to "overclocking stuff", and doing things "that don't work"... I had an AM2 motherboard. I could put in a "high end" Phenom CPU in that motherboard. (AM3) It should not work, but there was some kind of beta bios for that board. And the best Phenom CPU wasn't supported, because it would draw too much power. (125 watts) There were overclockers/tweakers, that did manage to get this unsupported CPU to work, but they lost a few USB ports in the proces.

 

*I am running an A8 6800k, with the turbo set to 4.5 ghz. When required, it boosts to that speed, and it's stable.

but the gpu and the cpu are different dies, amd said that all apus gpus are oc, but not their cpus
