Hello All. First time overclocker. I've gone through a lot of different reads as to basics of overclocking and been using this resource as a general guide to what I'm trying to accomplish.
My current setup is an AMD 5800k APU. I had a Radeon HD 5770 donated to me a couple weeks ago and so I am currently not making use of the integrated graphics. I have 2 sticks of 1866 G. Skill Ram at 10-11-10-30 at 1.5v. The Motherboard is an Asrock FM2A85x Extreme 6 with the latest bios v 1.80, with a Cooler Master hyper 212 EVO cooler and a CM GX Bronze 450W power supply.
However there are some voltage issues I have been having.
The voltage does not want to stay above 1.4v. Without the overclock (stock settings for everything, turbo core enabled, APM (auto power management) disabled thermal throttle disabled) The CPU voltage tanks down from 1.4 v to 1.297 v.
I then disable turbo core and set the bios voltage to 1.45 v, and change the multipler, but when I go into my tuning utility, the voltage fluctuates between 1.35 to 1.4 v, and generally won't stay. I've been able to get 4.2 GHz stable but ideally I want to reach 4.4 GHz. I've been using ASROCK extreme tuning utility.
I've seen several other people have had issues with the voltage being above 1.4v. One poster mentioned changing the CPU offset. I've tried it to no avial.
