Greetings,I have Phenom II X4 B50 3.2GHZ CPU.I have overclocked it just by few percent in bios,after I saved changed in the bios it says that speed is now 3.36GHZ.After I got into windows speed reverted back to 3.2.I went into AMD CPU Power in the CCC,there max clock I could set was 3.2.I then went into bios,disabled Cool'n Quiet and now in windows clock is 3.36 ghz as I set it to be.Is there any way I could run Cool'n Quiet with overclock since it really cools down my cpu when I am just browsing the net,it reduces voltage and clock to 800mhz,now speed is constanly at 3360.
 


If you are not shooting for a high overclock you can still use cool & quiet many do, but when you are after closer to 4ghz, C&Q will limit you.

Well If I have C&Q enabled,overclock is not working in windows,if I turn it off overclock is working fine.Is there a way I can overclock with C&Q enabled?

 


I'm sure someone will come along experienced in that type of overclocking as for myself anytime I overclock the first thing I disable is C&Q, as it will give you a more solid and stable overclock.

I suggest studying some overclocking guides relevant to your CPU and manually overclock, that way you take full control of your overclock, otherwise there's always some auto feature going to trip you up.

Good Luck To You!

I understand that,but I just overclocked to 3.36GHZ from 3.2ghz.After C&Q is disabled,it is overclocked in bios and windows,after it is enabled,clock is only working in bios while in windows it is 3200mhz max.I checked could I set more in CCC and I couldn't.
