(Specs)
AMD FX-6100 @ 3.3GHz stock
CoolerMaster Hyper TX3 EVO {in push-pull configuration}
ASRock 970 Extreme 4
Gigabyte GTX 550Ti
(Temps/ In CELSIUS)
Ambient room temperature: 22 degrees
--------------------------------
CPU idle: 28-30 degrees
CPU load: 38-40 degrees
----------------------------------
MoBo idle: 30-32 degrees
MoBo load: 32-35 degrees
----------------------------------
GPU idle: 28-30 degrees
GPU load: 64-66 degrees
so I built myself this PC a few weeks ago, and recently I decided to experiment with overclocking.
Now I have OC'ed my GPU before, but have had no experience with CPU BIOS overclocking.
So, in all my clueless glory I tampered around in my BIOS, and to my surprise my system booted and worked fine with 200MHz OC. However, once I tried pushing it a bit further to 3.7GHz, It didn't want to boot and I had to reset CMOS.
Anyway, just wanted to ask a few questions:
1. Has anyone got any experience overclocking in ASRock UEFI BIOS with an AMD CPU?
2. Does the FX-6100 overclock well? is there anything I should know?
3. Should I bother Overclocking at all?
Thanks in advance for any answers.
