FX 4100 Overclocking

ewok93 · Jan 12, 2014

So I've had my FX 4100 for quite a while now, and I've had it overclocked the past year or so. I've just been increasing the multiplier, not messing much with the bus speed. I'm curious, could I get a higher overclock by mixing the bus speed and multiplier? I have it stable at 4.6, doesn't go past 65c on Prime95 for 14 hours. I have a Corsair H60 with an extra fan for push/pull. Specs in signature.
Edit: I'm just starting Prime95, but I have a good feeling about getting 4.7 ghz tonight... I cannot wait for my 8320.
Edit... again: Okay, it's staying under 50c. This new fan for push/pull is helping a lot.

You can do it!Do it a little by little. !!

That's not what I was asking. I can definitely push it further, I'm just wondering if mixing the bus speed and multiplier was more effective.

Yes it is more effect . Do it little by little !

Your going from 3.6 to 4.7 lol? Im assuming you mean 3.7.

Also just so you know the fx4100 stock is 3.6ghz...

I meant I have it stable at 4.6. Typo. Also, 3.7 is barely an overclock. I know how to overclock, I have it overclocked, I can overclock it more, it's stable, I know what I'm doing, I'm asking one question. Is there any reason to mix both bus speed and multiplier? That is it. That is my only question.

If you up bus speed it changes the speed of your ram and your gpu as well. So I mean you can up it to get more speed but it will also change the speed of your gpu and ram which might cause issues.

No, that's north bridge bus speed. I'm talking about CPU bus speed. The thing the multiplier multiplies.

Heroesneverquit · Jan 31, 2014

If your reffering to the FSB then it would effect everything else and yes the multiplier multiplys by the FSB speed...

Now your FSB can be seperate from the GPU bus speed.

Also just google north bridge bus speed... From what I learned from the front-side bus wiki in 3-5minutes the front-side bus carrys data between the cpu and the northbridge. So there is no north bridge bus speed... As thats the same as FSB as far as I know.

You really are not understanding my question.

Arnav01 · Jan 31, 2014

ewok93 :

Then explain your question again.(Be informative)

Heroesneverquit · Jan 31, 2014

The multiplier multiplies FSB...

If your FSB is 200 and your multiplier is 17 then your CPU speed is 3400mhz or 3.4ghz. Im not sure what else you could be asking... There is no CPU bus speed its just FSB.
