Hey guys.
So the other day, I got a new motherboard and i got Corsair's h80i Liquid Cooling System.
I decided to overclock my CPU, which is an AMD FX-6300. I followed a guide on youtube on how to overclock the same processor that I have.
I raised multiplier to 21.5 (4.3 ghz), and voltage to 1.4v. I did all the fancy things like disable turbo and what not.
So, I was excited to test out Bad Company 2 (yea its not that hard to run, but I love the game), and I'm in the menu, and it suddenly freezes. My mouse can obviously move, but the menu is frozen, my fps (from fraps) is frozen. I had to ctrl+alt+del and close it.
Weird...
I decided to run Call of Duty, Advanced Warfare, which I can get a constant 90 fps (capped) without my CPU being overclocked. I loaded up a game, and my fps was fluctuating from 68 to about 85 (max and rarely).
****I ran "Intel Burn Test (v2)" on standard (which is the recommended mode) and it completed all 10/10 tests, everything stable, temp at 38 c max (100 F).
Why am I getting worse fps (and bf bad company 2 freezing at menu) with my overclock. The only thing I didn't follow in the whole OC guide was overclocking North Bridge voltage (from 1 to 1.23), but my friend says it's not too necessary.
Another thing is he said my vrams might be overheating, as my motherboard does not have heat sinks (I know heat sinks are important and what they do, but I thought my motherboard had them and I was wrong).
Is my overclock bad because of not having heatsinks? Or not increasing NB voltage?
I couldn't find a single thread online about overclocking lowering fps.
Thanks for the future help guys!
