amd fx4100 overclock

melancholyx3 · Jun 21, 2013

Hello, I'm fairly new to overclocking and have recently just tried to do so with many questions and possible failures. Currently im clocked at 4.4ghz with 1.42 vcore. I've ran multiple stresstest using p95 and had many workers fail (no clue what that means). I'm currently using aftermarket cooler (coolermaster 212 Hyper 212 EVO) Any help/suggestions for me to overclock my system correctly and keep it stable?

1.42 vcore < That is high , and are you watching temps.Don't go above 62 degrees.

Tools to use:

yes im watching the temps, they are at around 30-40C during p95 but the workers fail at around 10minutes (no clue what that mean

edit: right now im running 4.2ghz (x21 multiplier) 1.46v but on cpu-z my core voltage is at 1.380v-1.41v . im currently running prime95 and after 5-10 minutes, my worker #4 failed. My temp is still below 40C tho thoughout the whole 10minute of the test

BIOS features you should disable: C1E, K8 Cool& Quiet, C6 support.....have you at least done this?

melancholyx3 · Jun 21, 2013

i don't see any of those settings on my BIOS

Dark Lord of Tech · Jun 21, 2013

What board do you run?

melancholyx3 · Jun 21, 2013

actually i just went onto the advance bios features and now i see all the of them. I have now disabled all of these

edit: now when all those settings disabled, im trying to set the clock to 4.2ghz with stock volts. will post results in a few min

edit2: just got a bsod 5 seconds into prime95, changing volts from 1.36v (stock) to 1.38v

edit3: i run a gigabyte GA-78LMT-S2P

Keep backing down till it boots , then adjust till it's stable.

melancholyx3 · Jun 21, 2013

what do you mean backing down? lowering?the volts? or the clock?

Dark Lord of Tech · Jun 21, 2013

You should set the system back to default , then disable what i told you , then raise the multiplier .5 at a time and see where that takes you.

melancholyx3 · Jun 21, 2013

when do i know it's safe to go up .5?
no bsod in 5mins? 30mins? an hour? 24hour prime95 stress test?

Dark Lord of Tech · Jun 21, 2013

Start at stock settings then work up.

melancholyx3 · Jun 21, 2013

ya i know what ur saying but i meant like when do i know for sure the current settings are fine and I can go up .5

example: stock is 18x, i boost it up to 18.5x. When do i know i'm ready to boost it to 19x?
