Hey guys I have the a10-6800k running on an asus f2a85-vpro, I have been trying to learn more about overclocking before I actually go ahead and do it, but the other day I was in the ai tweaker in bios and hit the auto overclock feature by accident, which sets the target cpu freq to 4.4ghz it normally runs at 4.1, ...now the clock multiplier is always at 44x .and the cpu is running at 4.4ghz... I have set the default values back to 4.1 ghz and the clock multiplier back to auto, Even set the bios back to optimized defaults but its still running at x44 even though the target frequency is set to 4.1 ghz... Any help with this would be greatly appreciated and any info you guys would need just ask...Thanks in advance

OK tHEN IT MIGHT BE A INCORRECT READING FROM THE BIOS and if its running fine the old saying if it not broke don't fix may apply here run it as normal and see if you experience any problems if not let it be and that should be just fine overclocking a apu wont gain much its a gpu and apu all in one and when you stress one your will surely stress the other good luck to you.....

i cleared the bios with the jumper.... clock multiplier still running at x44 even though it set to auto in the bios and the target speed is still at the 4.1ghz ... I dunno i put the jumper on for about 15 seconds..I will try it again.....Just tried it a second time and still running at x44 ....I know for sure the bios was cleared....I had to reset the time and I had the message before POST to please enter bios and set the configurations....

hey guys....I have tried both...I cleared the bios...went in...made sure the target freq was at 4.1 ghz and the multiplier was set to auto, saved it and tried loading optimized defaults and its still going....the multiplier is going from x43 to x44 and thats it....I dont know what else to try at this point... My bios is up to date... There is a newer version but the description said it just added support for more CPU's ...

the ai tweaker cant be uninstalled its part of the bios, its just what they call the overclocking section..instead of messing with the individual voltages I hit an auto oc tuner button ... I know I cleared the cmos correctly.... Its 3 pins.... powered down the machine unplugged it and took the jumper and put it on the other two pins.. I know the cmos was cleared I had to set the time in bios again and before the POST test I got the message to enter bios to configure it....Im going to check in processes and services to see if i see anything running maybe...and as far as updating the bios I do plan on doing that... ..Im really confused here as to why this is happening...

The only other thing I can without actually being on your system is to tell you to pull the battery and wait 20 mins I don't know what the setting are for a 6800 I have the 5800 k and The richland 6600 apu myself was the pc over heating or crashing when its lock like that ?

But heres the info on neweggs site the standard speed is 4.1 the turbo mode is 4.4 so your chip may be running as its intended to do so...

it wasnt crashing....but its funny... I went into the ai suite 2 into the TPu overclocking feature and I set the multiplier at .x41 and it was just staying at 41...but I just did a system restore to 3 days ago and now its working fine...The multiplier is back to auto...I was thinking maybe it had something to do with the drivers I put in for the amd catalyst software ...hah..its worknig beautiful now...the clock is multiplying as needed as opposed to just going full force the whole time.....Thanks alot for your help I really appreciate it though...

actually its not again...lol... Something happened with the system restore... all my live tiles had little x's on them... All my programs weren't installed, I was getting a developers license error, so I did another system restore to another earlier date and now its back running at full speed...I have no clue what is going on with this thing

geez, my motherboard has an EPU setting which is another power management setting, when I put that back to normal the clock changed back to normal..I dont konw why that would have anything to do with it, it never did before....but it worked...
