I'll try to keep this short and sweet.
I am new to overclocking. I know the basic principles and bare minimum as to what I have to do to overclock.
My Rig:
- AMD FX-6300 CPU (6x 3.50GHz/6MB L2 Cache)
- Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3 -- AMD 970 Motherboard
- 600 Watt - Standard Power Supply
- Corsair Hydro Series H60 Liquid CPU Cooling System - ARC Dual Silent High Performance Fan Upgrade (Push-Pull Airflow)
(Misc. Specs)
- 4 GB [2 GB X2] DDR3-1600 Memory Module - Corsair (Along with two extra 2gb sticks, not sure brand, have to check later)
- AMD Radeon HD 7850 - 2GB - HIS IceQ X - Cooler, Quieter - Single Card
I have attempted to overclock my CPU, but even going up one notch on the CPU Multiplier (i.e. from 17.5 to 18), any game I launch will have this "Super Sayen" like lag, everything is very jittery and fast pace, but with a lag like effect. I have upped the voltage to the cpu and stress tested with power savers off (i.e. turbo control, etc.), however, no matter how small of an overclock, I can't seem to run a stable game. My core temps seem to max out at 40 degrees Celcius.
Am I simply doomed to never overclock?
I have managed to overclock my GPU, I don't think that would affect my CPU.
Any advice/help would be appreciated.
Target Overclocking goal: 4.3 Ghtz.
