Hello everyone, I'm new to overclocking and want to boost my FX8370. I'm unsure about the safe voltage settings and don't want to risk damaging my system. Do you have any advice? I have AMD Overdrive, Core Temp, CPU-Z, and Prime95 installed. My hardware includes an 8-core 4GHz processor, a 4GB GTX 1050 Ti GPU, a Gigabyte 970A-DS3P motherboard, 12GB RAM, and a Zalman ZM600-GS II power supply.

Your motherboard only supports 4+1 power phases or VRM, which isn't suitable for running a CPU with a 125W TDP. If you need to proceed, please review these details before attempting the overclock. It's better to disregard this approach altogether.
