Hello guys!

i have a problem, that my CPU wont overlock. i have MSI FM2-A55M-E33 motherboard And A6-5400K CPU . The Problem is when i go to bios "adjust cpu ratio" it's lock and i have problem also with ram MHz i set it on 1333mhz and i cant change the voltage it's also lock when i check my ram mhz on pc it's only 665mhz

Take note "i want to overclock my a6-5400k 3.60 GHz to 4.4Ghz"

Here somes picture please help me :'(

Hi there,

Firstly, the motherboard you have is very poor for overclocking so, whatever you do, be careful!
(no heatsinks on VRMs and a poor power phase...)

Secondly, it is normal for you to see 665mhz in windows as you have DDR ram which translates to (Data-Double-Rate)
665mhz x 2 = 1330Mhz

Finally, if you really desparately want to overclock, you'll need an aftermarket cooler as your stock cooler will not handle it & there is no guarantee you will get anywhere to 4.4ghz...

Once all of the above has sinked in, we can get to the fun stuff.

First thing you want to do is download AMD Overdrive along with Open Hardware Monitor (to monitor your motherboard temps, VERY important to avoid frying your PC0.

In your BIOS, disable the AMD...

Once all of the above has sinked in, we can get to the fun stuff.

First thing you want to do is download AMD Overdrive along with Open Hardware Monitor (to monitor your motherboard temps, VERY important to avoid frying your PC0.

In your BIOS, disable the AMD Turbo Core, at the very bottom you should have CPU Specifications &, in there, an option called AMD Cool'n'Quiet? - disable that and also disable C6 state and/or P-state limit (if you can find/change those).

Once you've disabled all those features, load up AMD Overdrive and select the CPU section, you'll get a slider bar

WARNING, MONITOR YOUR TEMPS AND DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS WITHOUT AN AFTERMARKET COOLER, DO NOT INCREASE VOLTAGES UNLESS YOU HAVE TO.

The rest is, increase multipleir from 36x to 37x, reset your system, stress test the system with Prime95, if stable & no errors & temps not too high, go to the next multiplier.

As soon as you start seeing instability errors/issues, only then should you increase the CPU VID (voltage) by one increment.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE - Whatever you do, do not jump from 36 -> 40/42/42Ghz, and/or tweak voltage higher, you could immediately destroy your system.


Honestly, your system was not really designed for overclocking, the CPU, yes, but the motherboard, no... so do so at your own peril.

And good luck! :)
