Issues with the FX6300 overclocking – USB connections drop, machine shuts off when starting up
I recently increased my FX-6300 to 4.0 ghz, which I believe is a relatively stable overclock. For cooling purposes, I'm using a coolermaster hyper 212 evo. I'm sticking to the default voltage settings since several sources suggest you don't need to adjust voltages for just a 4.0 oc. My setup includes: FX-6300, Gigabyte GA-970A-D3P ATX AM3+/AM3, 750w PSU, and ASUS ROG Strix RX 470. When the system experiences stress—like starting a game or switching to multiplayer—the USB ports will shut off briefly before turning back on again. Occasionally this happens randomly. I've already tried disabling automatic shutdown in Device Manager to save power for USB hubs. Additionally, when I first turn on my PC, it lights up and then shuts down, but if I press the power button once after it boots normally, it restarts. If this is related to a voltage problem, could someone advise me on the correct voltage setting? As I'm not very experienced with overclocking, I appreciate your help in advance.
I examined the process carefully to determine the exact method employed.
What specific actions did you take to overclock? Those signs suggest you probably used the FSB instead of the multiplier. I adjusted the frequency multiplier to 20x (4.0ghz) and turned off Cool n Quiet, then reset it back to defaults. It seems to have resolved the issue—my computer starts normally now and I haven’t experienced any disconnections. However, the Radeon Additional Settings message still appears.
Mtiplier overclocking shouldnt affect USB ports in the slightest , there is absolutely no link between the 2 at all.
The double boot when you overclock is normal on a lot of gigabyte 970 boards (it's the dual BIOS kicking in which is a failsafe in case you do something stupid)
You shouldn't have to press the power button again though.
It should boot, beep, turn off , then reboot on its own after 2 seconds.
Set multiplier to 20, leave cool & quiet enabled, disable turbocore, set llc (load line calibration to one setting above standard or auto)
That should do the job.

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you. Thanks for your help but i guess the point is kind of moot. I just picked up an i7 6700k from microcenter and a new motherboard. Hopefully if everything goes well I will have a better computer, if not I guess I come back here. Thanks again for your help
