i wanted to get some input form you guys on how my rig is currently clocked I also was curious to see if I have something set so high as to hindering performance. i use this computer for homework and gaming also movie watching. the mobo has no voltage controls and the cpu wont boot into windows when clocked higher than 4.5 everything is fairly stable as far as I know. also how can i change my fsb-dram ratio? i thought they were supposed to be even? I have a Powercolor 6670 in the rig in dual graphics with the A8 APU as well. It's worth noting my bios is current

Solution
For that specific processor you can't really ask for a higher overclock. It's default is 3.6Ghz so getting it up to 4.4 or 4.5 is as high as you can really go. If you really wanted to push you could lower the multiplier and raise the bus speed but it's risky and not recommended. It has been known to kick a few more mhz out of the CPU though. The ram is right where you want it from the looks of it and as far as stress testing, id be curious to see how hott your CPU is getting. Would def look into that as well.
