I have an AMD FX 6300 with a 3.5ghz clock speed
I tried to push it to 3.7ghz using AMD Overdrive
But when I load it, the system says I don’t have an AMD chipset
🙁
Can you help me?

don't rely on overdrive for overclocking. it doesn't understand its purpose either. just input your bios and perform some basic calculations. 18.5x200 equals 3700, so set the cpu multiplier to 18.5 and turn off the turbo core. don't worry about anything else—this should be enough for a mild overclock. you shouldn't need to change anything else beyond monitoring the thermal margin.

Which motherboard are you using? It might not be compatible with overclocking.

Ollie Hunt discusses the ASRock N68-GS4 FX motherboard, noting its overclocking capabilities are limited and not ideal. He mentions trying to adjust the frequency slightly without affecting stock voltage.
