Hello, all. I am trying to overclock my AMD FX 6300 cpu with my MSI 970 gaming motherboard and have run into a bit of an issue.
Firstly, I am attempting this overclock using AMD overdrive, not the MSI 970 uefi/bios. Yes, I know that is not optimal. But when I attempt it through bios, the voltage does not seem to actually change, causing the pc to crash on boot.
Anyways, So far I am able to get the CPU to a stable 4.2ghz at 1.275v, which is great and all, but I'd like to go higher.
The voltage seems to be preventing me from doing that, however. Any time I try to raise the voltage above 1.275v on AMD Overdrive, it drops all of the cores clock speeds down to 3.0ghz instantly. Keep in mind this is with a thermal margin of 30c+ and chipset temp readings of ~40-45c. If someone could help me figure out my voltage issue, or enlighten me as to what I am doing wrong in bios, that would be great.
It's worth noting that I have disabled cool n quiet and turbo core. Thank you for reading!
