So, this is my current set up:
Mobo: BIOSTAR A960A3+ AM3+ AMD 870 ATX AMD
Ram: G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-8GBRL (Note: I have two sets of these, making it 16gigs)
Video Card: SAPPHIRE Vapor-X 100358VXL Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card
And of course I'm running the FX 4100
Its currently running, as read by my CCC and BIOs, at 3.7ghz
I've read plenty of reviews saying how well this thing can be OC'd and I'd like it to be about 4.5ghz if possible. I'm using a all copper thermaltake heat sink, and would like some advice on how to over clock it.
I have never oc'd a CPU before, but have done some 'dabbling' with my old GPU in CCC.
My biggest issue currently is CCC makes my computer reset when I attempt to auto-tune my processor. It will go through the first test, then pop a window saying 'Windows will now restart'. It does this over and over again, wih no sign of doing anything.
