QuestionPengwen :
Are you using the same RAM or different types?
I have two PNY 4 gb sticks and two Kingston 4 gb sticks, each with varying frequencies.
You can try this approach.
If you find the information in the packaging or on the sticker, enter it into your BIOS and adjust the RAM timings to match the slowest setting (such as 16-18-18-24 versus 14-14-14-24).
Then change your RAM frequency to the slower one (like 2133 vs 2400).
This might help your RAM sync properly and let you overclock your CPU without crashes.
If it doesn’t work, you’ll need to buy identical RAM.
Apart from the details about unmatched RAM, how exactly are you increasing the speed? That's the A6 3670k? It means it has an unlocked multiplier. If you're boosting via the multiplier alone, you shouldn't run into problems. If you somehow change the FSB clock speed (which you shouldn't do), that could also cause the RAM to overclock.
Apart from the mentioned facts about unmatched RAM, how exactly are you overclocking? That's the A6 3670k? Meaning it has an unlocked multiplier. If you're only adjusting the multiplier in BIOS, you shouldn't have problems. If you're changing the FSB clock speed (which you shouldn't do), that could also cause the RAM to overclock and lead to a crash. I'm planning to change the RAM settings at home. Also, one of my RAM sets runs at 1.5v while another runs at 1.65v—would that be an issue too?
You're asking about adjusting your core clock speed instead of the multiplier, keeping your system stable at 3.3 Ghz with no changes to RAM settings. You're curious if overvolting could improve performance, especially given your current idle and load temperatures.
if it functions properly the maximum voltage won't attempt it; unless you're considering upgrading the CPU, you might need a different processor. Did you attempt to boost the RAM speed to its peak performance using XMP?

if it works as is, the maximum voltage wouldn't attempt it. You might need a different CPU, didn't you think? Did you try increasing the RAM speed to its top setting using XMP? I left the RAM at auto mode and haven't adjusted my CPU voltage. Checking the motherboard's BIOS didn't reveal any VCore option, which is strange since it has everything else.
