Its about а long story of overclocking AMD FX 4100 4 x 3.6ghz!
Long story short - after disabling almost all features in the BIOS.. ( c6 core, cooln quiet, power management tool, LLC ) the frequency of the processor still goes from 4.3ghz to 1.8ghz along with respective 1.49vcore down to 0.98vcore.. how do I STOP that ? Any Ideas? Thanks for your time.

It will down-clock when it overheats. (even with power-saving functions disabled)

What are your temps?
September 22, 2012 8:43:22 PM

Temps are fine max 52C

Mainly... i dont have a problem. Ive stabilized it to 4.4 even 4.5 ghz BUT after a couple days while playing or just chatting in skype i rescieve get blue screen. I think that is the reason

hey dude you cant stop it down clocking its just a energy saving thing the chip does.. u shouldnt notice any performance difference as it boost back up for what ever you are doing. hope this helps

its not about the performance its about that I think its causing instability

i have the fx 8150 and had mine clocked at 4.6 stable and down clocked to 1.45ghz didnt effect it at all. maybe put your clocks down to 4.2 might be to high or you might have a *** chip does happen....

Hyper 212 Cooler master,
And fx 4100
MOBO - ASRock 800GMH U3S3
Palit GeForce 550TI Sonic 1gb DDR5
2 x 4gb 1333mhz RAM (decreased to 800mhz for the OC)
Seasonic 620W power supply

Im not sure about all other temps but they are fine as along as i remember MOBO was somthing like 50-60 max temps freak out when tress testing dunno why they go like 215C MOBO :D  then its 15C :D 

Edit - Ive set my NB core voltage to 1.58 i noticed when its higher i have more performance.. is it okay to 1.58

have you tried just using the multi instead of fsb get to keep ur ram speed then or maybe try a config of the both and when using the fsb just drop just under the 1333mhz sometimes using different ways works not just the one. what was ya temp at idle and max?

215c? wtf!! what program u using or do u live on the sun lol? ya chip would be dead at that temp lol try using the different combos i suggested then get back to us man 1.5 volts is way to high in my opinion try i always try staying around 1.38 volts / 1.40...... maybe!! do u have case cooling?
September 22, 2012 9:33:38 PM

Im clocking just with multiplier for now.. im stable at 4.3ghz for 2 hours. I'll leave it that way and if i dont get a blue screen in a week.. i'll try for higher clock.
Strange im got getting instability instress testing but im getting it afterwards... while gaming or chatting.. after a day or so.. strange isnt it? Only difference now is that im with a fresh new copy of windows 7 Maybe things will be different now

did u mean 215(f) as theres ur unstability as that makes it 101c as max temp for ya chip is 62c... so theres ya answer dude
September 22, 2012 9:38:59 PM

man thats not the case...temp is max 52.5 C but sometimes freaks out. I read that this is happening sometimes while stress testing
