Hello Puistis.
I suggest checking out a few videos about FX overclocking and some related guides.

The optimal voltage for the chip should not exceed 1.5V (maximum). Setting it to 1.45V would be more prudent than reaching the limit. Additionally, consider installing AMD Overdrive and monitor your thermal margin ™.

Prior to attempting overclocking (CPU or GPU), perform some benchmark tests with the games you normally play.
I don't have access to your current settings. Could you confirm the voltage configuration for you?
I can't view your screenshots because I'm at work.
What voltage setting do you have?
CPU voltages are currently set to 1.31250V, though I'm not sure if that's sufficient since others with the same processor have adjusted it up to around 1.4... but I'm a bit worried about going higher. Maybe you could let me know since you might be more experienced with this? 😊
Also, would checking those screenshots help?
1.4 is perfectly okay as long as you can manage the heat.
I’d limit myself to around 1.45v if I was concerned about the CPU.
With a hardware overclocking tool, they’ll reduce the warnings much more than necessary to shield themselves from potential backlash if someone damages their gear.
I’d avoid all that and instead refer to a Tom’s guide for overclocking via BIOS. There are many more settings to adjust when fine-tuning your overclock.
Faktion :
1.4 is totally okay if you can manage the pressure.

hello again
yeah, I tried 1.4 volts but the CPU was getting hot (about 65 degrees). Since I’m playing Arma 3, which is very CPU-intensive, I usually use BIOS to OC but for some reason I change the values in the CPU section...

The highest voltage you should apply to the chip is 1.5V (maximum). Setting it at 1.45V would be a smarter choice than exceeding the limit. Additionally, consider installing AMD Overdrive and monitor your thermal margin ™.

Prior to attempting overclocking (CPU or GPU), perform some benchmark tests with games you enjoy and synthetic tests. This will give you a clear idea of whether you're seeing meaningful gains. An unstable overclock might actually reduce performance compared to stock speeds—be aware of this. The settings and adjustments you'll need in your BIOS will differ depending on the motherboard, so you may need to search for various labeled configurations. One final note: if memory is correct (I can't verify it right now), Jayztwocents' video focuses on bus overclocking rather than multiplier overclocking. It's advisable to try multiplier first, then switch to bus overclocking to achieve the best results. The main drawback of bus overclocking is its impact on your NB/SB and RAM speeds. Where multiplier only influences the CPU (bus speed x individual multiplier = CPU/NB/SB/ram speeds).

The optimal voltage for the chip should not exceed 1.5V (maximum). Setting it to 1.45V would be a smarter choice than pushing beyond the limit. Additionally, installing AMD Overdrive and monitoring your thermal margin ™ is advisable.

Prior to attempting overclocking (CPU or GPU), run benchmarks with games you play and synthetic tests. This will help you gauge improvements. An unstable overclock might actually reduce performance compared to stock speeds—be cautious. The settings you need in your BIOS will differ depending on the motherboard, so you may need to search for labeled options.
One more point: if memory is correct (I can't verify it right now), Jayztwocents' video focuses on bus overclocking rather than multiplier overclocking. It's usually better to start with multiplier overclocking before moving to bus, as bus affects CPU, NB/SB and RAM speeds.
The main reason many avoid bus overclocking is that it impacts your CPU and memory speeds. With multiplier only, it just changes the CPU speed (bus speed multiplied by the multiplier = CPU, NB/SB, RAM speeds).
