Ok, so. I am attempting to overlock my CPU via the BIOS:
AMD FX 6100
Frequency: 3.3/3.9GHZ (Base/Overdrive)
Cores: 6
Cache: 6/8MB (L2/L3)
Socket Type: AM3+
Power Wattage: 95W
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3 AM3+ AMD 970 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX
BIOS interface: Gigabyte - UEFI Dual BIOS
Model Name- 970A-DS3
BIOS Version- FD
BIOS Date- 1/23/2013
BIOS ID- 8A02BG02
I have read the guides and watched the videos regarding overclocking and I pretty much all set, but stuck on one part in my BIOS. With this specific BIOS, the area in changing the "Voltage" has the following options:
CPU Core
NB Core
DRAM Voltage
Vcore Loadline Calibration
All 4 are set on "Auto" by default. I have read that I need to change the Voltage from "CPU Core", but I am confused on what I can choose. It doesn't allow me to type in a voltage, instead, it only allows me to cycle through "minus" or "Plus" set of numbers. For example "+ 0.4125". I have cycled through all the numbers, and all begin with a 0. So these don't appear to be actual Voltage values. I am assuming these could be added values to what your actual Vcore is supposed to be. But I have no idea what to choose. I can see my actual Vcore voltage, but it changes live, up or down.
Does anyone know what this is and what I am suppose to choose?
Also, these are what I plan on setting for over-clock. Let me know if I am missing something or needs to be changed:
C1E Support: Disabled
C6 Support: Disabled
Virtualization: Disabled
APM Master Mode: Disabled
Core Boost Turbo: Disabled
