Hey guys,

I want to overclock my CPU to around 4.3/4.2 Ghz and i was wondering weather somebody has some configs that I could just throw into my BIOS ? (I'm fairly new to overclocking but I do know my way around the BIOS)

I have a H100 cooling my CPU with idle temps of around 28 degrees.

Thanks in advance :D
 
I'm not familiar with AMD overclocking, but there are no definite settings. You will have to experiment yourself and find a stable OC.

I'm sure others will provide a foundation, but no one can give you a set of numbers or settings you can throw into the BIOS that will work for definite.
 
Put the multiplier on 21.5 to achieve the 4.3ghz, then try and load up windows. Run Prime95 and HW Monitor for temps and stress tests.
If/when it bluescreens, increase the voltage a little. You need to run prime for about half an hour to try and get into the ballpark. After you've got half an hour of stability, leave prime on for 12 hours and see if it does blue screen. If so, go back and increase the voltage again, but only slightly this time. If it doesnt bluescreen, you may be happy leaving it, or to shave a couple of degrees off your temps, you may want to try and decrease it a little more.
They need to be running below about 65 degrees, so if you break that limit, turn off, and drop the clocks
 
Well that was very unexpected ! I've Managed to get 4.5 GHz and I'm stress testing now but prime doesn't seem to be firing up all cores is this a problem ?
