New To Overclocking help!
ok so i just built my rig and i want to OC the CPU.
i have an AMD FX-4300 stock clocked at 3.8 base and 4.0 turbo, 95 watt tdp, and MSI 970a-g43 MOBO
my goal is to get the base to 4.0ghz and the turbo to 4.5ghz. though i have heard that this CPU can clock to 5ghz with no problems.
im still on stock cooler, but case gets plenty of air. so unless it gets too hot, then this is my goal. i want to keep the turbo on because i dont always need the full 4.5ghz all the time and i think it will keep the temps down a bit.
ive looked up what the temps should be and core temps should be under 62C and CPU under 70C
so with that said, where do i start? lol sorry for being so vague.
