So far this is as high as I've been able to get. Just under 4.2 GHz. when I try to up the frequency (multiplier) anymore than 21 I get a BSOD. I tried increasing the voltage all the way up to 1.3v but I still got the BSOD.
Watch the temps real close. Remember yesterday we saw temp2 at 90, which is way too hot.
Yup. I'm watching it.
I asked CountMike about temp 2. (He's running a FX-6350) He say's that it's the chipset and I should apply a heat sink to cool it off. At the moment it's at 62C and I'm running just below 4.5 GHz.
Thanks Essenbe. Most of this stuff actually seems to make sense now.
I remembered that I have a few extra case fans lying around, so I installed one on the top of my case and now temp 2 is down to about 48C while I'm still running a little under 4.5GHz.
That's a good improvement. Good job. 4.5 is a nice speed too. You really won't notice anything higher than that usually. That's what I run this rig at 24/7.

Yup, and compared to 3.7, which I thought was my maximum speed, 4.5 is really nice.
Hello all,
I have recently bought a gaming desktop pc 2nd hand, I have had laptops in the past and came to the conclusion that desktop is the way to go if I want to game.
Specs are below;
EVGA Hadron Air Mini-ITX
I5 4690k 3.50GHz

Hey guys,
I want to try my hand at overclocking since I now how my first desktop ever. I know I bought a bottom line PC and it's going to stay this way for awhile. (my Christmas gift from my wife is a AM4 MB, Ryzen 7 CPU and RAM, but I have to...
Hi, I would like to overclock my CPU but I dont know what to do. Is their anything like MSI Afterburner but for CPUs. You can see what CPU I have in my System Spec.
Here you can Post your Overclocks and Benchmark results!
I use an AMD FX-6300 and I was testing the MSI OC Genie on my mobo. Here's the results via CPU-Z.

Nothin amazing. :rolleyes:
