I have decided to OC my CPU to 4.0 Ghz from 3.5 Ghz. I have never done any kind of OC-ing, so I am a complete noob in this field. I have read that I can simply go into BIOS and from there set the multiplier to 20. I have done that, but I have set it to 18.5 (3.7 Ghz) because I am using the stock cooler. I am waiting for my new cooler (Hyper 212 Evo) so when the new one arrives I will set the multiplier to 20 (4.0 Ghz). After doing that, I ran the CPU-Z program and there I noticed that my Core Speed has been jumping all over the place. Going from 1.4 Ghz all the way to 4.0 Ghz. I have disabled Turbo Mode in BIOS and I have also disabled CoolAndQuiet mode in BIOS. Is that normal? When im stress testing then my Core Speed sticks only at 3.7 Ghz. So my question is, have I done everything right? Is that normal what is happening?
Also, here is my rig: GPU - Palit GeForce GTX 670
CPU - obviously AMD FX 8320
RAM - Kingston KHX2400C11D3/4GX (2x4GB)
Motherboard - GIGABYTE GA-990XA-UD3
Motherboard Chipset - AMD 990X (RD980) + SB920/SB950
BIOS - F12
OS - Windows 10 Professional 64 Bit
On the side note one more question regarding my RAM. I have 8 GB of RAM. When I check my RAM info in the program HWiNFO, it says that the Maximum Clock is 1200 Mhz, but in the actual state of the RAM, it says: "Clock - 671.1 Mhz = 3.33 x 201.3 Mhz", "Mode - Dual Channel", "Timing - 9-9-9-24, tRC 33". Does this mean that my current RAM is clocked at 671.1 Mhz? If that is true then that is very bad/low and that shouldn't be normal, am I right? Can anyone help me regarding this issue and where to set it to "normal" state/clock.
I apologize for maybe asking dumb questions but as I said I am really new to all of this and require assistance. Thanks in advance!
