Hi, I'm just starting out with PCs (gaming, testing, overclocking). I have an FX 6300 and I'm trying to use prime95 for overclocking at 4.4. When I begin the test, it resets the overclock and the CPU goes back to 3.5. After stopping the test, it returns to 4.4. Could this be a newbie question? Thanks in advance. My English isn't great, it's not my first language.

Stock prime 95 isn't the optimal choice for AMD systems; refer to http://www.techspot.com/downloads/4645-a...drive.html or use OCCT program.

Mohd Mamat tried Cinebench or AIDA64.
Thanks, but I believe the issue lies with the motherboard MSI 970A-G46.
I plan to upgrade to an ASUS Aura Pro Gaming 970.
