Mainboard - MSI A88X-G41 PC Mate
So I decided to overclock my CPU to get a performance boost in CSGO, the difference between max and minimum graphical settings I benchmarked to be only 5FPS so I assume overclocking the GPU won't give me a noticeable performance increase in that game, right?
So I went in AMD Overdrive and disabled turbo, increased core multiplier from 37x to 42x, ran stability test for just 1 minute and decided to increase it to 45x before running a longer stability test. Am I correct that just increasing the multiplier without increasing the voltage can't damage the CPU? Anyway as soon as I applied 45x I got BSOD, no worries, restart the PC and go to overdrive again, disable turbo and... BSOD as soon as I turned off turbo. Does this mean that I'm just fucked and can't overclock this unit?
