CPU OC mode

swagsticious · Apr 16, 2014

Hi there!
I just want to ask if it's ok to leave my CPU oc on hte CPU OC Mode that my mobo had as an option? I selected the 4024 MHz option for now before pushing it any further. My mobo is the Asrock 970 extreme3 r2.0

What cpu do you have and what cooler are you using on it? Are your temps ok at that clock speed? Have you stressed tested it?

Generally I would stay away from the 1-click OC modes on motherboards, as they usually increase the voltage too much, which is damaging in the long run. Depending on your CPU, a 4GHz overclock isn't very much, so the motherboard may not have messed with the voltage too much. Like CTurbo asked, I would run some stress tests while monitoring voltage/temps to make sure it's safe.

I have the fx-6300 cooled with a Hyper 212 EVO on an asrock 970 extreme3 r2.0 .. i tested it and it gave a calculation error (something like 9._______ instead of 9. ______ on the 3rd core) and a rounding error on the 4th core (got 0.5, expected 0.4)

Don't use that software to overclock. Overclock the old fashioned way in BIOS by raising the multiplier. Stress test it and keep an eye on your temps.
