x4 965 BE is attempting to reach frequencies above 3.7 GHz
x4 965 BE is attempting to reach frequencies above 3.7 GHz
My specifications:
M4n68t-m v2
X4 965 (1.44V - 3,7 GHz - 200 mhz x18,5 multiplier)
450W Psu
1050 ti (clearly limiting)
Temperatures are fine. Max 57 CPU even at 1.5V.
W10 64 bit
6gb ram 1333 mhz.
The issue is I can't reach higher than 18,5x multiplier. I attempted 19x even at 1.5V but still a worker halted on prime95. No blue screen or crashes.
The error message is: - rounding was 0.5 expected less than 0.4 -
What might be the cause? Everything else works fine. I only change the multiplier.

Explain this isn't your PSU? Check the link: http://ru.gecid.com/data/power/201103190...img/09.jpg
This is my PSU, I've been using it for 3-4 years. I understand it's not great.
!! It's shocking that a single +12V rail (rated for 18 amps at 216 watts) can power a 125W CPU, 75W GPU, and the rest of the system. When both are maxed out together, they need 200W just to run at stock.
I'm worried you're using this PSU temporarily for your current setup. Hopefully it won't fail suddenly and cause more problems.
I don't know if a better PSU would allow you to achieve a better overclock, but with this one it's not possible.
I wouldn't attempt very high frequencies on that board, after all. It isn't built to manage OC effectively. For one reason, there are no heat sinks on the VRMs, and only four power phases. My 965BE reaches its limit at around 4.1GHz.
What model is your 450W PSU? The performance of the PSU greatly impacts results. Ripple can ruin any effort to overclock.
The 965 @ 3.7GHz shouldn't pose a significant bottleneck for a GTX 1050 Ti. I manage the RX 470 well, even at its default speed.
I wouldn't attempt to push the board too high, as it isn't built for OC. It lacks heat sinks on the VRMs and only supports four power phases. My 965BE reaches its limit at around 4.1GHz.
What model and make of your 450W PSU are you using? The quality really impacts performance. Ripple can ruin any overclocking efforts.
The 965 at 3.7GHz shouldn't be too limiting for a GTX 1050 Ti. It handles the RX 470 well even at stock speed.
Thanks for your advice. On some games my CPU throttles to around 90%, and FPS drops when I open Chrome or other apps. I'm trying to minimize that. Could overclocking help reduce those drops? If I play solo, everything works fine. My PSU is a Frisby 450W – not great, but it can handle OC for now.

This is my PSU. I'm using for 3-4 years. I know. It is really bad PSU.
