System Specs:

CPU: AMD Phenom x6 ii 1055t

CPU Cooler: Hyper 212 evo

Motherboard: msi 890fxa-gd70

Power supply: Thermaltake ToughPower 750W GOLD Modular Power Supply

Graphics card: r5 230 2gb (I know its sad)

SSD: Crucial M4 512 gb

Hard Drive: Seagate Barracuda 1TB (2016)

Ram: Corsair XMS3 ddr3 4x4

Userbench Link: http://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/5400246 

 

So, i want to overclock my CPU to squeeze some more life out of it before i have to upgrade. So far i have gotten into AMD overdrive and the maximum frequency i have gotten is 3.206 GHZ stable. My voltage seems to be really low but when every i increase it my system becomes unstable and freezes. Also what would be the highest end graphics card that wouldn't be bottle necked to an unreasonable level. Gtx 1060 maybe?

 

Thanks to anyone who helps!

I'd recommend going into the BIOS and doing the overclocking there. A GTX 1050ti would be bottled necked much. I'd say to raise the voltage in the BIOS too, but so far it looks like you have a lot of V droop , look for the line load calibration settings and turn them up too

 

Yours faithfully

Try OCing from Bios instead of overdrive.

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

Buy whatever product is best for you, not what product is "best" for the market.

 

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.
