Hi I am having some problems understanding the OC procedure im new to overclocking xD
These are the settings I was gonna change to get a OC of 4.5 using 1.33 volts
CPU Overclocking: Manual
CPU/HT reference clock: 450
CPU Ratio: x22.5 4500MHz
AMD Turbo: Disabled
CPU/NB: Auto (wasnt too sure what to set this as)
CPU over voltage: 1.33
VDDNB over voltage: Auto
Loadline calibration: Auto
Are these settings fine?
Yes, at auto the frequency is set at 200 (Intel's equivalent is 100). This means 200 multiplied by 22.5 equals 4500MHz divided by 4.5GHz. Adjusting the frequency affects more than just the CPU or RAM—it can also influence PCIe slots and other components. Such changes can challenge full stability, but usually you can maintain a small level of stability. You might be able to reach 205 (which gives 4612Mhz / 4.6GHz), but it should be reserved for final adjustments rather than initial settings.
In a simple way, the CPU voltage (which you've left to Auto) is the ideal level for your needed voltages.
Excessive voltage would be the 'cut-off' (roughly what I remember)...
Generally, you should begin with a solid base depending on the particular motherboard, of course.
A 4.5GHz processor on a 6300 chip will probably need about ~1.3V.
Begin with 1.33V if stability is important, and adjust slightly lower if it works consistently.
In a simple way, the CPU voltage (which you've left to Auto) is where you should aim for your needed voltages. Too high would be the 'cut-off' for spikes... Otherwise, you should have a good starting point based on the particular motherboard, of course. For a 4.5GHz processor on a 6300 chipset, around 1.3V is typical. Begin with 1.33V if stability is important, and adjust slightly lower if it works well. I didn't mention the CPU frequency or base frequency, so just keep those as auto and leave the CPU/NB settings unchanged?

Adjusting the frequency affects more than just the CPU or RAM—it can influence PCIe slots as well, which may impact overall stability.
Changes often lead to challenges in maintaining full-scale stability.
Typically, you can manage a small amount of stability, but it's usually not very significant.
It might be possible to raise it to 205 (so 205 x 22.5 = 4612Mhz / 4.6GHz), but this should only be considered for final adjustments, not as the initial setting.
