AMD FX 4130 overclock-How to overclock the CPU from the BIOS

ScottyNitro17 · Apr 9, 2014

Well i've been using my CPU for awhile now but i want to unlock it's full power but when it comes to CPU overclocking i've never been good with it nor taken the time to learn it from these bad video's on the subject.

If anyone here has the knowledge to Overclock from the BIOS (and yes i know it's dangerous but i'm willing to take the risk) so if any of you know i would like to know please, all my PC specs are below :

ASUS 78LMT USB 3.0 Motherboard
Gigabyte Geforce GTX 560 Non-TI SOC edition (overclocked by me with MSI Afterburner)
AMD FX 4130 quad-core CPU 3.6 GHZ
DDR3 RAM 3 stick = 8GB
8 fans (including CPU and graphics)
Corsiar PSU 750W Gold edition

(This was built by myself but i never liked to overclock the CPU but now it's time to unlock its full power)

Give the vcore voltage a little bump up and change your cpu multiplier to 20. This is a fairly basic overclock. If you have trouble finding these settings check out some videos on youtube of people doing it first.

You need an aftermarket cooling solution to overclock.

That's not necessarily true depending on the overclock. If it's mild like the one I suggested then I'm very sure it will do just fine with the stock cooler.

The board has a poor thermal and power design , and shouldn't be overclocked at all.

theonerm2 · Apr 9, 2014

Again... That's not necessarily true depending on the overclock. The FX 4170 is clocked at 4.2GHz from the start. Are you telling me that a processor clocked to 4GHz of the exact same architecture isn't going to be safe? The power draw isn't going to be that much different from a stock FX 4170 and that's supported. So please help me make sense of this if I'm wrong.

Well not really, i have a cooler master CPU heatsink with heatsink paste that is rated the best on the market

theonerm2 :
