The introduction …

If you like to get a faster PC, or like to save some money when you purchase a new PC without renouncing to play current games, or just having fun to overclock, you can overclock your PC with this new AMD overclocking guide. AMD socket FM2 processors are currently not only very popular due to the low purchase price for an APU with integrated graphics, but these processors reach often also very high overclocking results. This step by step AMD OC guide helps newbies to get an easy entry into overclocking and also provides tips for overclocking enthusiasts who like to get even more out of their AMD FM2 processor. The guide explains in detail how to overclock an AMD Athlon II FM2 CPU or AMD A4, A6, A8, A10 APU with unlocked multiplier or locked multiplier.

By overclocking you lose the warranty, OCinside.de assumes no liability for possible damages!

This is free and convenient, best overclocking software for AMD CPU comes with support for up to ten custom profiles, and is one of the most popular OC tools today. In fact, it has become a must have for gamers who want to push their gaming laptop or rig to their potential.

Previously we ran the full review of AMD’s Lynx desktop chip, the A8-3850, which is their Llano architecture for desktops. In that review, regrettably, I was not able to explore overclocking this platform. Thankfully, after a bit more time, that has been remedied. Overclocking Llano isn’t all sunshine and rainbows, but it’s not too difficult.

A tip before you start …

If you have an energy meter, you can connect it now to the PC before starting with overclocking, to measure the demand for electricity before and after overclocking (you should note the idle and full load values in watts). With our small interactive PC power consumption calculator you can calculate, how big the difference is in price of the PC power consumption depending on the energy consumption and runtime. Calculate the PC power consumption and the PC energy costs at best before and after overclocking:

Before you start with the PC overclocking, it should be ensured that the PC runs stable without overclocking. This is useful for pulling any wrong conclusions on possible failure, especially if the PC has been build newly. So start the PC with default settings in the operating system and download a benchmark program like e.g. 3DMark, a diagnostic software like SiSoftware Sandra and a CPU stress software like e.g. Prime95. Regarding download, at this point you can directly download the tool CPU-Z and motherboard monitor or SpeedFan from our links & download area, we will go later to some tools. If you rather like to overclock with software, you can download some OC Tools like AOD from our OC software page. Now you run 3DMark in Windows and write down the results or create a screenshot of the benchmark results (e.g. using the Snipping Tool in Windows 7 under Start -> All programs -> Accessories -> Snipping Tool). Then run Prime95, confirm “only stress test”, select “blend” with the total number of CPU cores/threads, so that all CPU cores will be stressed and check if there are errors after some time. If all goes perfectly, you can stop the Prime95 by Test -> Exit (otherwise it continues in the background). Additionally, you can perform specific benchmarks with SiSoftware and do some more PC diagnostics.

At high overclocking, you can destroy not only hardware, but also data of hard disks may be lost – mainly with too high memory overclocking this is not uncommon! So backup now all important data with Norton Ghost, Acronis True Image, etc. or do a full backup on DVD or a hard drive that you seperate physically from the PC. Alternatively, you can perform all overclocking attempts with an other SSD, hard drive or a bootable USB stick, which contains no important data.

You reach the UEFI setup by pressing the delete key or the F2 key, after switching on the PC. Btw. most manufacturers show the supported keyboard shortcuts directly after switching on the PC on and explain it in the motherboard manual. Some manufacturers also have shortcut keys that can unlock advanced BIOS content, such as for example CTRL + F1 in the BIOS from Gigabyte. It’s helpful to disable the full screen logo, which should be set to “Disabled” in the BIOS. To save the values, you go to Save and Exit or press the F10 key and confirm with Z or Y depending on the keyboard used. Who like to get detailed assistance for the UEFI Setup or BIOS update from the manufacturer, can request it 24 hours a day in the Forum, where our friendly community answer immediately on all requests.

For easy comparison of the cooler, here is a cooler comparison with some AMD Socket FM2 cooler reviews, each with the option to listen to the cooler sound, to avoid a heart attack after the purchase. Who like to build the PC with a nearly-silent water cooler, or who like to do extreme overclocking with a compressor cooler, should lool around a bit in our hardware test area, where we tested also water coolers and compressor coolers in addition to the conventional air coolers.

First you should know more about the excact CPU you have inside of your computer, so you can now read data of the CPU using software such as CPU-Z. Alternatively, it is time to shutdown and power off the PC by the main switch, open the PC case, remove the CPU heatsink and take a closer look at the name of the CPU. You can then later type in this product ID in the interactive AMD Athlon64 product ID guide or in the interactive AMD Phenom product ID guide to see the official values of this CPU.

OC database you can take a look at the results of several thousand other overclockers and thus already get an overview about the frequency you can approx. achieve with your CPU. Please do not forget to enter your overclocking results for other visitors as well !

The AMD Trinity and AMD Richland manufacturing week can be found in the line below the product ID number on the CPU or APU, e.g. GA 1219PNN or GA 1235SUT, where the first two digits of the number indicate the year and the next two digits indicate the manufacture calendar week.

1235 stands for week 35 in 2012 and 1219 stands for week 19 in 2012:

1. We have a so-called “K” CPU with open multiplier (A10-5800K, A8-5600K, A6-5400K). This is the best requirement for overclocking the processor, because we can increase the multiplier easily via the UEFI Setup or with an OC Software. The standard multi of an AMD A10-5800K APU is for example 38x, the Turbo of a Core is 42x BCLK. ASRock one increase the multiplier in the OC Tweaker menu by setting the “Multiplier/Voltage” change option to “Manual” and then increase the multiplier over the important menu item “CPU Frequency Multiplier”. ASUS calls it AI Tweaker menu and once AI Overclock Tuner is set to Enabled, one obtains the APU multiplier selection to change the so-called Piledriver Cores from approx. 14x to 63x.
2. We use a CPU with a locked multiplier (e.g. AMD A10-5700, A8-5500, A4-5300 APU). One can not increase the multiplier over the UEFI Setup, but AMD allows a reduction of the CPU or APU multiplier and the APU Turbo multiplier. The base multiplier of an AMD A10-5700 APU is for example 34x BCLK and the Turbo goes up to 40x BCLK.

Now we know whether and in which range the multiplier can be changed, but before we overclock using the multiplier, it continues now with the determination of the highest FSB / BCLK.

Then we increase in small steps the reference clock using APU/PCIE Frequency in the UEFI setup of the motherboard, as long as the PC boots up properly. Who have for example the ASRock FM2A85X Extreme6 and want to save some time, can try to increase the reference clock directly to the maximum frequency of 136 MHz overclock, because we could successfully set this frequency in the FM2A85X Extreme6 review. This value should you run now a benchmark, because when a higher reference clock lead to a poorer result of the benchmark, we have to reduce it a little bit until it’s getting fast.

Here is a screenshot of the 136 MHz BCLK settings:

Tip: If the PC boot properly, but does not want to start in the operating system with increased BCLK, it can help to change the SATA controller from AHCI to IDE (not recommended with a SSD) or to use a different SATA port or another SATA controller. If the system does not boot at all because of a too high BCLK, you can reset values on several motherboards, keeping pressed the insert key during switching on the PC, others have a separate protection function like for example the Bootfailure guard, which automatically reduces the reference clock to moderate values after repeated false starts (select the number of false starts e.g. with the ASRock Boot Failure Guard Count). If this is not possible, you could switch the BIOS using clear CMOS button or replace the “Clear CMOS” jumper (near the battery) for a complete BIOS reset and then re-enter all values from the BIOS.

Once we know how high the BCLK can be adjusted, we can set them within the established range, to achieve, for example, the dependent memory frequency. With the highest memory divider you would mathematically be with 136 MHz BCLK at DDR3-3264. If the maximum reference clock has been determined and the system is correctly booting with this FSB setting, we can increase yet the memory clock in small steps. Raising the memory voltage can help to get a higher memory overclocking result. But be careful! mainly with memory overclocking at too high levels, data on the hard disk or SSD can be destroyed!

As best method to get a better stability is to increase the VCore (CPU voltage). But increase the VCore only in very small steps and with caution, because the VCore dramatically increases the CPU heat and thus possibly destroy a CPU core which could be the “death” of the processor. With a higher VCore, you can significantly improve the processor stability in almost all cases, at least as long as the power supply supports it and no device or components such as e.g. voltage regulator is on its last legs. For example, in our tests we were able to overclock an AMD 5800 K APU stable on 5 GHz, but this required a CPU voltage of 1.55000 Volt and in addition had to raise the offset to + 0.100 Volt. Such high voltages are however not recommended, a maximum 1.50 volts with a water cooling (do not forget the cooling of the voltage regulators) or a good air cooler are entirely possible, where you should give the CPU only as much voltage as necessary to run stable. Never directly select the highest possible VCore setting! Who still needs higher voltages could manipulate the voltage regulator IC with a resistor, to get in reality a significantly more VCore with a low voltage setting. Some instructions for many motherboards and voltage regulators can be already found in the Workshop area, more VR increasements can be requested in our Forum.

In our test, we reached with 136 MHz x 37 a total of 5032 MHz, but only with significantly higher increasement of the VCore of 1.55000V and +0.200V offset, strongly heated voltage regulators and a rise in the PC power consumption from 127 Watts to almost 200 Watt – so please do not try this!

Who could locate next clock of the CPU the h, should now check the stability of t by st stronger CPU load with Prime (see links & download section), or other demanding programs over a longer period and this again to monitor the temperatures. If the PC becomes unstable, can you help possibly still a little with the VCore, or goes back to the clock a small step.

Of course there is a lot more, you can overclock and optimize to get at best only under load the maximum clock rate with the minimal required voltage. The underclocking or Downclocking plays a major role at the ever rising electricity prices and from an environmental standpoint in some cases like HTPC or Office PC. It is not possible to go through all the individual settings at this point, especially because there are very large differences in the mainboards, you can only discuss it in detail, for the respective motherboard. If you have still overclocking problems or too little performance after all these OC instructions, I will help you individually or better ask in our Forum, because there you can discuss all outstanding issues in detaiö with several other overclocking enthusiasts and tuning friends.
