System Specs
CPU- AMD FX 8350, Board- Biostar TA990FXE, RAM-32 gb patriot Viper 3 1600mhz GPU- EVGA SC gtx 570, CPU cooler- Thermaltake bigwater a80
So im trying to over clock my CPU and no matter the voltage and clock speed my CPU is throttled so it doesnt run properly (other then stock). My CPU runs about 15c idle and 50 underload(aka 3 hours of BF3 straight) at stock speed. I am new to overclocking so anything info would help.
Make sure any features like "Cool and quiet" or other CPU limiting options are turned OFF in the Bios. Those will slow it down.
Also, having a LOT of fast ram can hinder an overclock. What Power supply do you have? Are you overclocking in the Bios or using a utility?
bios and srry i forgot to put my PSU i got a thermaltake 850w black widow. and i cant find "cool and quiet" i found something similar that i did turn off.
go into power options and put it on performance
