You don't want to overclock without a non stock cooling solution with the FX Series.

your CPU is 95W and your Mobo Max TDP 95W .. worse overclock

your RAM is good with 1066 CL7 (7-7-7-21) that same speed with 1333 CL9 (9-9-9-24), and your mobo supoort 1066 if you want go speed to 1333 you need set manually from bios but need add voltage ram and relax/ lossen timming

 

[michael06]

Ya it is a good ram I bought it before & what you mean its the same speed as 1333 cl9 9-9-9-24? I have a DDr3 1333 right now its a Patriot brand & timing is 8 cas something & the computer runs right now & i didnt overclock anything i dont no how to set up timing & im suppose to get this new ram Mondayy

 

[michael06]

I bet the ddr3 1333 ram right now in my computer is not set right?? I saw on my mobo when was reading manual its says i have to overclock to use 1333 ram but not sure how to set up timing & stuff??

 

[henydiah]

ya ... your mobo just show 1066 it max your mobo read automatic .. just do manually if want 1333

 

[michael06]

I try to get help on Memory Forum but nobody seems to help me out set my memory ram lol can you help bud?

 

[michael06]

it shows this Support for 1333+ (O.C.)/1066/800 MHz memory modules

 

[henydiah]

support 1333 (OC) it's mean you need manually like OC from bios !

 

[michael06]

Ya how do I do that I dont no how to overclock a Ram or Setup Timing lol so confused by all that stuff! This is why I come to this forum again some before helped me out on my other gaming Pc & it still runs like a Boss

 

[henydiah]

what kind type your mobo ??? or go bios find setting memory .. many option to 800 - 1066 - 1333 select 1333

 

[michael06]
