Help With Over clocking FX4100
Help With Over clocking FX4100
I understand it's an older processor, but I’d be happy to assist with overclocking to improve performance and eliminate bottlenecks. Your system setup includes:
CPU: AMD FX4100+
MB: m5A78L-M/USB3
RAM: Corsair Vengeance DDR3 2x4 1866 CAS9
GPU: EVGA GTX 750 Ti SC
Power: EVGA 500 W1 80+, 500W continuous power,
Cooler: Hyper T4
Case: Aero Cool Strike X One
Ventilation: 2x Corsair 120 WP HP edition (bottom to top)
-1x 12" Aerocool (case included with LED) and 1x12" generic front-to-back
-1x Generic Gigabyte 12" on side below CPU cooler
Storage:
-1Samsung Evo 850 500 GB
-1 WC 3TB (red, model not remembered)
Yes, you're correct. That chip runs too slowly for the GTX 970. Begin by turning off Turbo mode in BIOS. Gradually adjust the CPU multiplier one click at a time. Save your changes, exit to Windows, and check stability and temperatures. If everything is fine, continue; otherwise, slightly raise the vcore (CPU core voltage) as permitted by the BIOS. Keep testing. It usually involves multiple multiplier increases before adjusting the vcore only if performance drops. Avoid exceeding 1.5v.
By the way, I hadn't encountered the Evga GTX 970 "Ti" before.
