Hey guys I’m trying to get both my CPU and GPU overclocked stably.
I currently have an AMD Athlon 860k @ 4.2 GHz and a Zotac GTX 760 running at stock speeds.
My CPU never crashes during a benchmarking test or when I do a CPU intensive task like playing PCSX2, however, it always crashes when I try an AMD OverDrive stability test. I have also ran MSI Kombustor’s CPU stress test and my AMD Athlon 860k did not crash during it. It only crashes if I use OverDrive.
Now for the GPU. I try to overclock my Zotac GTX 760 just a tad bit with MSI afterburner and I make the fan percentage go up to 86% and the power usage to 106% and I increase the memory clock by 40 mHz. Then I run MSI Kombustor GPU benchmark and the FPS INCREASES from 121 to 130. However, when I run the street fighter V benchmark when the GPU is overclocked, the FPS DROPS from 276 to 200.
PLEASE NOTE I AM USING A 500W EVGA POWER SUPPLY. What is the problem because I think my power supply is enough for a little overclock?
