can i copy the exact same setup to overclock my 8320e on this motherboard? coz i heard this 970a krait edition is not good for overclocking

helpstar · Oct 13, 2016

well, if it won´t boot, the overclocking failed. You would have to reset the BIOS if it does.

Normally you should overclock step by step. From low to high frequencies. First without raising voltage:

For 4.1GHz it would be:

CPU Multiplier @ 20.5
FSB @ 200
AMD Turbo: Disabled
XMP ram profile: Disabled

for 4.2GHz:
multiplier to 21

and so on

check temperatures after each raise

The problem of your board is the VRM power phase design. Too less VRMs for real overclocking there. But you can try to get it stable

Kentaro0o0o · Oct 13, 2016

helpstar :

how about the voltage should I change it too? because right now with OC GENIE 4 my voltage is around 1.4v - 1.43 play around that number. Is it easier to overclock it directly to 4.5 or much safer to do it 1 at a time?

helpstar · Oct 14, 2016

Every CPU is different, it's safer to do it in bios and not with software in Windows. Vcore shouldn't be touched unless the overclock gets unstable.

Kentaro0o0o · Oct 14, 2016

helpstar :

how do you know if your overclock becomes unstable? sorry super noob here

helpstar · Oct 14, 2016

if it boots to windows, that´s the first step to know it could be ok

then you will have to test your system e.g. with prime95 (smallfft) to get the cpu a full load. If there isn´t an error for about 8hours, it should be stable. Check the temp margin with "amd overdrive". if it´s getting near "0", it will overheat/throttle to get normal temperature.
No problem there, because the cpu will just throttle and wouldn´t be damaged by it. If it´s getting near to "0", the voltage is too high or the cooler is not sufficient or the CPU is not overclockable more then that.

Kentaro0o0o · Oct 14, 2016

helpstar :

do you have the link for prime95? because i dont want to just randomly download it in a wrong site or source, thanks. I got noctua d15 i hope its enough. i got 550w psu do you think PSU is also the problem?

helpstar · Oct 14, 2016

PSU and cooler should be fine
check the thermal margin while prime95 is running about 10minutes, before overclocking, so you can compare

Kentaro0o0o · Oct 16, 2016

helpstar :

i run the test and it show some core stop working i saw 100 warnings and something else im not sure. but some cores passed the test. what should i do now? I overclock it to 4.5ghz

helpstar · Oct 16, 2016

Start raising vcore a little bit

helpstar · Oct 16, 2016

Start raising vcore a little bit, if the temperature is fine too

Kentaro0o0o · Oct 16, 2016

I think i set it @ .230000 should i go for .24000?

helpstar · Oct 17, 2016

try with little steps and test after each step

Kentaro0o0o · Oct 17, 2016

helpstar :

i run it at 4.5ghz with +0.2900000 in volts and run it on prime95 test the one you told me and for an hour no errors or warnings everytest pass so is this stable?

helpstar · Oct 17, 2016

Looks fine, how high is the temperature? Read the thermal margin in amd overdrive and post the value while running prime for about 10minutes

How high is the core voltage now? Have a look at cpu-z while running prime
