Okay so here's the deal
I've been trying to reach 4.6gHz on my A10 for quite a while now. Right now I'm running 4.5gHz rock stable (5hr prime95) and temps never reach above 65C when running Small-FFT's with voltage set at 1.462 in BIOS and with Noctua NH-D15 cooler. Whenever i try 4.6gHz or even 4.55gHz(45 multi with 101 BCLK) Prime fails after about 5 mins with >1.475V. Also when I raise VCore over 1.475 the cpu temps reaches Tj. Max relatively quickly and begins to throttle hard (2gHz-1.4gHz). Why is that so? Is there anything I'm doing wrong? Also my motherboard is an Asus F2A85-V. BIOS settings are in the pictures
You could potentially reach 4.6 with a good water cooler to reduce temperatures. The outcome largely depends on the luck of the chip, as some perform better than others. I wouldn't exceed 1.475. Changing memory settings might improve stability, but I lack sufficient information to confirm.
