Unusual issues appear during overclocking of the FX 6300
Processor FX 6300
RAM: 8GB
Motherboard: ASRock 970M Pro3
Graphics Card: Geforce 730
As described, I increased my CPU's clock using AMD Overdrive to a safe 4.1Ghz (200MHz with a multiplier of 20.5x). However, videos and games still experience significant judder, while other functions run smoothly without any crashes. This behavior is similar to what I see in Minecraft where the game's internal clock appears to malfunction, causing time to loop or shift. I also tried boosting the processor speed by just 100Mhz, but the issue persisted. Any insights or experiences from others are welcome.
Also not useful to increase the clock speed in AMD Overdrive / VIA OS...
The best approach is to use the BIOS settings.
I had an A8-7650k and whenever I tried to overclock via AMD Overdrive, I experienced unstable video playback. However, using BIOS for overclocking was smooth and reliable.
Just to provide more clarity, increasing the clock speed by 200MHz (since I realized I can't adjust in 100MHz steps) leads to all the problems I encounter with overclocking it down to 4.0Mhz, indicating it’s not related to voltage issues. Also, raising the voltage to 1.35 should be sufficient. Throughout this process, my temperatures have remained consistently around 35 degrees C. What I can note is that when reviewing statistics on YouTube for gaming enthusiasts, the dropped frames section is impressive—around 75% of frames drop (compared to near zero without overclocking), which aligns with what I experience during actual gameplay. So the main question remains: Why does overclocking result in frame loss?

I had an A8-7650k and whenever I tried to overclock via AMD Overdrive, I encountered choppy video playbacks. However, using BIOS for overclocking performed flawlessly.
