I have achieved a successful overclock of my AMD FX-4300 to 4.4GHz with a voltage of 1.3900V. However, I recently discovered another aspect affecting CPU overclocking—power phases. I am curious if my motherboard is capable of supporting this level of overclocking. The components are: CPU AMD FX-4300 at 4.4GHz and 1.3900V, GPU GT 730 with 128-bit 2GB at 890MHz/1000MHz, PSU rated at 500W (brand unknown), and the motherboard is GIGABYTE GA-78LMT-S2 with push/pull fan settings.

During stress tests lasting over 10 minutes, the CPU keeps running at 4.4Ghz or it drops. Another key point is using a high-quality power supply, as understanding your current setup can be beneficial.

The motherboard isn't suitable for serious overclocking. A standard 500w power supply won't help either. You require a reliable power source and proper VRMs on the board to maintain a steady voltage of around 1.39v.

When stress testing for over 10 minutes, does the CPU keep running at 4.4Ghz or does it slow down? Another key point is using a high-quality power supply; understanding your current setup would be beneficial. It shows stable overclocking—my tests on prime95 lasted an hour and stayed consistent. Also, I’m confident my PSU meets the 80+ bronze standard.
