Hi there I'm having a slight problem getting more juice out of my stock Phenom ii 995 at 3.2GHZ
Now i have successfully removed the standard rubbish AMD heat sink fan and replaced it with the better hyper 212 Evo now as my CPU is unlocked being a black edition i have successfully hit 3.6GHZ just by increasing the multiplier in the bios prime 95 runs fine at 45'c ran for 1 hour without issues as before on stock i would BSOD after 2 mins at the moment on the desktop i have a cool 26*c Now if i crank the multiplier to 3.7GHZ windows crashes on start-up with the common BSOD
So my question is how do get past 3.6GHZ? my computer has plenty of fans and airflow my psu is 1000 watt 80+ also my motherboard is a asrock M3A770DE
I want to get as much juice out of this aging cpu as possible this processor is still beast quad core but as games are getting more intense my computer is slightly bottlenecking with time and games are loosing fps and performance my original plan was to overclock this cpu as much as possible and add a better graphics card I'm currently using a Zotac GTX 460 (768 MB) so any recommendations for a upgrade would be appreciated
I would get a whole new Mobo/cpu but financially right now its not an option hopefully soon enough though
Cheers guys
