Oc amd 6350 fx com MSI 990 FXA
I've been using the standard OC engine from MSI, but many suggest avoiding it and tweaking settings myself. I adjusted the CPU ratio to 22.5, raised the CPU voltage by 0.025000v and NB voltage by 0.01500v. The result is a 4.5 GHz processor. I'm wondering if lowering it to 4.4 or 4.3 would be better, or if sticking with the OC engine at 4.2 is optimal. Thanks in advance!
Do you notice any variation between 4.2 and 4.5?
I use my 6350 at 4.23 on an Asus 990FX Sabertooth v1 from 2011. With a Zalman 92mm copper cooler, I keep it close to or just above 60°C, staying within about 3 degrees of that temperature. I let the BIOS auto-overclock. This has been running for nearly four years at that setting without any problems. At today’s prices, if you damage your CPU, you’d need another one in about 24 hours for around $100.
I really enjoy it and the system performs well, meeting all my productivity and gaming requirements. I’d prefer to stay near 4.2 just to avoid any worries about stability or performance issues.

I've been using the standard OC engine that MSI developed, but some people suggest avoiding it and tweaking settings myself. That's what I did. I increased the CPU Ratio to 22.5 and raised the CPU Voltage by 0.025000v while boosting the NB Voltage by 0.01500v. Now I'm getting a 4.5 GHz. I'm wondering if it's better to lower it to 4.4 or 4.3, or should I stick with the OC at 4.2?
Thanks in advance!

Is it stable? Have you tried running Prime95 for a long time? What's the CPU temperature at 4.5 GHz after some testing? If everything holds up and stays cool, why not keep it OC'd at 4.5 GHz?
KyleADunn shared his experience using the standard OC engine provided by MSI, noting that some recommend avoiding it and customizing settings instead. He adjusted the CPU ratio to 22.5, increased the CPU voltage by 0.025000v and the NB voltage by 0.01500v, achieving a clock speed of 4.5 GHz. He seeks advice on whether to keep this setting or lower it to 4.4 or 4.3, or maintain the OC at 4.2. He also asked about stability, past testing with tools like Prime95, and his CPU temperature at 4.5GHz after a short stress test. He mentioned running tests on MSI benchmarks and streaming on Twitch with low CPU usage and moderate temperatures.
