Discussions about AMD Processors and overclocking. Need help with that new AMD CPU or not sure which one to buy? Like to void your warranty? This is the place for you! Please keep the topic on Processors only!
I have an AMD Phenom 965 Black Edition Quad Core CPU attached to an ASUS M4A77TD Pro motherboard. The CPU currently runs at 3.4GHZ with a mutiplier of 17. I attempted to use an overclocking program which was on the driver cd that accompanied the motherboard. This increased the processor to 3.6GHZ with a multiplier of 19 however this made my system unstable and produced a BSOD. My question is can this CPU be over clocked. My OS is Windows 7 Home Premium, I also have 4GIG of DDR3 1333 memory.
I am running a version of AM D Overdrive which came on the drivers cd accompanying the Asus mobo. I'm not sure if this is the latest version. The cpu is presently running at 1.39volts.
I downloaded the latest version of the AMD Overdrive Utility from the AMD site. When I go to the system overview page in the advanced mode the CPU multiplier is set at X17 and I am unable to increase this, the slider is at the maximum position. The auto clock feature takes the multiplier to X19 but my system crashes and reboots at this multiplier. Can this CPU which is the AMD Phenom II Quad Core 965 be overclocked clocked faster than the stock 3.4GHZ. I use the FSX flight sim and would like to getr the CPU to above the stock 3.4GHZ.
