Can I increase the speed further?
I just finished a 12-hour Prime95 test and it went really well. Also completed a 2-hour Intelburn at Extreme settings. The setup includes an ASRock A88M-ITX/ac, AMD A10 7700k Kaveri, 8GB RAM, a Strix RX 470 (overclocked), a 650W PSU, and an Arctic Liquid Freezer 240. The stock clock runs at around 3400mhz at 1.26V, with a 100MHz FSB and a multiplier of x34. I’m currently stable at 4.4ghz with a Vcore of 1.408, which fluctuates slightly. Temperatures remain below 50°C under the current cooling configuration. Is it safe to push further? My BIOS lists a max of 6700mhz, but I’m unsure how much more I can safely increase. What voltage and multiplier should I aim for before I start getting concerned?
If you're unsure about anything or need more details, feel free to let me know. I'm really keen on understanding everything, but I'm mostly learning through this forum without a separate teacher, and exploring other discussions. Thanks for your help!
