hi all
total n00b here so excuse the waffle
i have recently got a pc with the following specs:
cpu: amd fx6300
cpu cooler: stock
mobo: asus m5a97 r2.0
case: zalman z9+
fans: stock but 2x arctic cooling f12 on the way
graphics: msi twin frozr r9 270x
psu: thermaltake 630w berlin 80+bronze
ram: g-skill ripjaw x 8gb 2133mhz (2x 4gb)
so i have been looking in the bios, and at stock the cpu is at 3500mhz, the ram at 1600. so i put the ram to 2133 and it goes fine. if i do some auto oc tuner function, it gets the cpu to ~3800 but the ram goes down to ~1700. if i then try to up the memory to ~2000 it doesn't reboot i get a screen saying overclocking failed.
i'm not messing with anything other than auto-tuning as i dont have a clue when it comes to voltages etc.
, i'm not wanting to try to push it with a stock cooler i'd just like it a bit quicker, but its annoying me i cant get the ram up to its rated frequency and have a bit of a cpu boost.
so my question is: should i disable cool n quiet (have read it helps stability with overclocking) either fully disabled or disabled by cpu? there are 2 options for disabling it in my bios.
or is there something else making it fail the overclocking of cpu and memory together?
thanks in advance
