The system came pre-assembled but I upgraded the graphics card and power supply to higher models, along with a better cooler. I found plenty of space for overclocking and followed some tutorials that recommended disabling power-saving features and trying a gentle overclock at 1.375V. The BIOS didn’t let me undervolt, so I stuck to its default settings (around 1.415 or 1.425). After testing the mild overclock, Windows wouldn’t launch properly—either it froze with just the logo or stuck on a single window. I changed the LLC setting back to auto and reset the clock to auto, which worked fine. Now I’m looking for advice on how to get Windows to open during the test and then proceed to higher speeds safely. I’m aiming for around 4.5–4.8 GHz. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Just boost the multiplier. Base speed is 3.5ghz with single core up to 3.8ghz. For around 4ghz or above, aim for 1.40v. FX prefers low heat and stable voltage. If temps hit over 70°C during tests, it's too hot.
