Hi Friends I searched on the internet and found that guys having same system specifications as me are overclocking there PC's and enjoying games so I too done this My System Specifications are
AMD A8 3550 @ 2.9Ghz
IGP AMD Radeon 6550D, 512 MB
Corsair 1333Mhz 4 GB Ddr3 Ram
Windows 8 Pro 64 Bit
1 TB WD Green HD
First I ran AMD Overdrive and selected Auto tune to check the maximum frequency till which it can go I figured out it was 3.6Ghz
Then I went to BIOS and unfortunately there was no option of increasing Base Clock so I Increased multiplier to 36x and voltage to 1.385 V.
now it is running @ 3.6Ghz I performed stability test ran games performance was Improved and it also scored more in benchmark test.
Then I again went to BIOS and changed RAM timing from auto to manual and selected 1600Mhz for to be at safer side I didn't increased it to 1866Mhz shall I check it out also ? I then gone to Benchmark test for 1600Mhz and RAM score was better then before and games were running more smoother.
Now In BIOS there is also option for IGP clock I increased it to 733Mhz but in the Status in Overdrive it clock didn't increased at all it is running around at 667Mhz.
I figured out that somehow If I will be able to increase the clock of IGP it will help me to gain more better performance.
OC RAM and CPU has helped me too much and at this cheaper price APU is working nicely for me.
Now I need guys your help regarding following questions:
1. Should I also try RAM to 1866Mhz is there any risk?
2. May I update my Bios is there any chance it will contain an option for Base clock increase I am using BIOSTAR A55 ML+ Motherboard it is working very nice for me actually for more then 11 Months very stable I have found it.
3. How can I increase the frequency of IGP ie, AMD Radeon 6550D.
4. Is there any effect of OC on long life of any component I only run it at 3600Mhz if I am playing games or doing complex Video Rendering.
It will be my pleasure I will get little help from you guys out there.
Thank you very much for reading
Have a pleasant day
