Athlon II x4 overclocking

[Guest]

I wanted to ask if these settings are safe for my motherboard,

HT ref clock:334mhz
CPU multi:10x
CPU Speed: 3340 MHz
HT multi: 6x
HT speed: 2004MHz
RAM: 1334 MHz

although my motherboard temperature does not go over 40c, my processor goes up to 62c-63c MAX load with occt running, with 3.5 GHz it thresholds xD, anyways, I wanted to ask if I am pushing the motherboard with 333mhz base clock, I remembered my intel days so I thought why not try it here, I think its a bad idea because with C&Q enabled the cpu speed doesnt go lower then 1334 MHz, (increase in idle temps).

Oh another thing, I have L3 cache unlocked.

Thanks!

If stable, you have good power, and good cooling/airflow, you are fine. How are your overall system temps doing? What else are you OCing? And, what make/model of PSU are you using?

I have a Ultra LS-600 600watt power supply 34amps on the 12 volt rail should be enough ?, I am also overclocking my 4670 to 785/830, but the my case air flow is bad, I have an old antec performance plus 1080, it only has 3 80mm fans running at 1200 RPM (1 intake in front, 2 in the back exhaust), I am thinking of getting a new case, because sometimes my gpu temps go over 65c.

Your PSU should be ok, but I would prefer a Seasonic, Antec, or Corsair. Try to remove any obstructions you may have to optimize airflow and you should be okay.

Good luck!
