Question about OCing more

Turtvaiz · Jan 5, 2014

So I have managed to OC to 4,6 GHz but I noticed that when I raise the multiplier it automatically increases core voltage. Also there is no setting in BIOS to manually change voltage. But if I would change the multiplier to 47 (4,7GHz) would it break the CPU because at 4,6GHz CPU-Z says "Core Voltage: 1.496 - 1.504" when idle.

AMD Athlon II X4 760K
MSI FM2-A55M-E33
Also this is happening:

No but my motherboard adds voltage automatically so too high voltage will just cause a crash?

i don't have that motherboard, but i do have a piledriver chip~

in your bios check to see if there is a "voltage offset mode", turn it off... and you should be able to set your vcore.

if there is no voltage offset mode, then your motherboard's bios is gimped and will not allow you to have the control you need to overclock that cpu. That might be a blessing in disguise because i wouldn't overclock on an A55 chipset FM2 board. Those boards are not designed for it. frankly they aren't designed to handle a quad core cpu at stock let alone when overclocking...

This cpu is fm2 so i can't upgrade before the non apu kaveri cpus come. But i am worried about the voltage going over 1.55 because atleast for the 750k has that as max safe.

Nah. The MOBO already sets voltages I were just thinking if I could do 4,7GHz on these voltages so the mobo don't raise the over the cpu limits.
