Recently I began experimenting with overclocking. After installing AMD Overdrive, the system reported a CPU speed of 3.5ghz at 1.31v and a peak of 4ghz at 1.3375v. The previous cooler would only manage around 55°C, while the new one stays within the safe limit of 61°C, occasionally reaching up to 61°C for short bursts during intensive tasks. Now that I have the Gamma X 400 installed, it performs better in cooling compared to the old unit.
Setting voltages higher than 1.3875v appears to cause the CPU to underclock, possibly due to MOBO restrictions.
Any voltage above 1.4v seems to trigger errors when using Prime95.
Overclocking requires a well-rounded setup. Consider organizing your specifications clearly:
CPU: Motherboard: RAM: SSD/HDD: GPU: PSU: Chassis: OS
It's important to maintain optimal cooling. The Gammax cooler isn't ideal right now as it only handles up to 125W of heat. Opt for something with higher TDP, such as the Be Quiet! Dark Rock 4 cooler. Additionally, you'll need a more powerful PSU to handle the load. How much older is your current unit?
Overclocking requires a comprehensive setup. It's best to organize your specifications clearly:
CPU: Motherboard: RAM: SSD/HDD: GPU: PSU: Chassis: OS
You should aim for better cooling options, such as a cooler with higher TDP, like the Be Quiet! Dark Rock 4. Additionally, consider upgrading your power supply to prevent overheating. Your system was installed around late 2015.
