Overclock 1066t using gigabyte 990fxa-ud3 revision 4
Hi All
This is my setup:
gigabyte 990fxa-ud3 rev 4
AMD 1055T phenom X6
12 GB corsair vengeance 1600mhz 3 x 4 GB sticks
asus strix R7 370 4gb
I need help to achieve a stable and solid overclock. I've tried adjusting the multiplayer settings, lowering memory to 1066, and slightly tweaking voltage. The only consistent speed I've seen is around 3.3Ghz. Looking at the forums, this seems low for my board and configuration.
@ 3.8 GHZ THE PC SHOWED BLUE SCREEN IRQ ERROR
Additionally, the graphics card won't accept any overclock via the catalyst manager. Even minor changes cause a purple screen or a restart.
Anyone have suggestions?
I begin by studying a manual on overclocking the Phenom II lineup, since these guides are reliable and well-researched. The 1055T features a fixed multiplier, so you can only boost it by adjusting the bus frequency. Overclocking involves a lengthy process of testing and adjusting various factors, as many elements influence the outcome. Even using the same components from different batches can significantly impact performance. My advice:
Ensure adequate cooling > Turn off all power-saving features > Raise core voltage to 1.4v > Maintain memory settings close to defaults > Gradually increase bus speed by 10Mhz, then in steps of 5Mhz until stability is achieved.
For your GPU, verify that you have sufficient voltage margin. This information can be found under...

For your GPU, verify that you have sufficient voltage margin. This information is typically available under "power-limit" or "powerplay" today.
