Overclocked Fx 6300@4ghz
Overclocked Fx 6300@4ghz
I just increased my CPU speed to 4ghz with an aftermarket cooler, using the default voltage. My GPU is a GTX 750 Ti and the motherboard is an ASUS M5A97 LE 2.0.
After testing stability with Prime95 for an hour, I reached max voltage at 50c.
While playing games, my system makes beeps accompanied by a red light, then returns to normal and again to red, producing 3-4 beeps before going green.
I’m confused about what might be causing this issue?
Same problem occurs when I overclocked the CPU to 4.1ghz at 1.4v, but during Prime95 tests it also made noise. Now it only happens during gaming at certain moments... Can you help me figure out the cause?
The issue is that using the board for overclocking isn't recommended, it lacks heatsinks on the VRM. However, temperatures stay below 50°C and I only slightly increased overclocking at standard voltage!
I wouldn't go further, the board struggles to handle the 125w CPU.
I wouldn't go much further, the board barely handles the 125w CPU.
My CPU is an FX 6300 with a 95w processor, not a 125w one. I think that's true.
I won't push it higher than that, but the issue isn't about overheating—it's that my motherboard gives beeps during intense gameplay!
I know my board isn't ideal for overclocking, but a slight boost might not damage it at normal temps?
My RX 470 is causing beeps under heavy load. Should I lower it back to the default or keep it at 4ghz? And why are you getting beeps too?
