Hi All.
I have built the following pc.
APU: AMD A8-3870k 3.0GHz
Motherboard: GA A55M DS2
RAM: 2 x 4GB 1600MHz
Radeon HD 7850 Graphics
Windows 7 64bit
3 case fans
stock heatsink/fan
600w psu
My question is ive been using the " AMD Catalyst Control Centre" to attempt to o.c. my cpu. There is a function called CPU OVERDRIVE.
You can do an automatic test which I have done. At stock it is 3.0MHz, but the automatic test managed to get it to 3.5MHz before it blue screened.
I now have the option to set it manually to between 3.0 to 3.5Mhz.
Please can someone say which would suit me best taking into consideration stock cooling and the above PC specs.
Cheers,
Dave
