Hi, I just overclocked my AMD X6 1090T to 3.9. However, when I'm using my PC I find that the clock speed jumps from as low as 900 (at 3.9 target) upto 3.9 itself. Is there a way to have it running at 3.9 permanently? And is it ok to do so?

Thanks in advance, Jack.
 
Disable CoolnQuiet/or whatever your power saving feature is called in the BIOS. And yes, it's perfectly fine to do it, it will just consume more power.
 
There's no real reason to disable it though, since it saves power. When your PC needs the extra juice, it'll use it. No real disadvantage there.
 
Thanks for such quick replies. I can't seem to find anything in my bios which would allow me to disable it. My mobo is Gigabyte 870AUD3 if that helps....

Edit; I found it. Sorry.

I have another quick question. Im trying to overclock said CPU to 4.1, but can't seem to get it going stable, I keep getting shutdowns etc. I upped the voltage to 1.6 and 1.7 and still no results. I am pretty novice at this and have been going through the BIOS. I tried using amd overdrive but I don't understand it haha. Cheers.
