I have an AMD FX-8320 that comes with the Cool & Quiet feature, should I turn this feature off in the bios before OCing?


If I don't turn it off, would that just set the max clock rate the CPU will utilize to a higher rate?

Right now it idles at a x7 multiplier for 1.8GHz and while stressing/use it goes typically up to x18 for 3.6GHz although it can go up to x20 for 4GHz.

If I set it to 4.2GHz max, will it just set the max load it will use higher?

IE: 1.6GHz to 4.2GHz

Current BIOS settings:

Just set it to 4.2GHz at a CPU Voltage of 1.4, it seems to check out.

Letting Prime95 run for a couple hours.

ALSO, is it normal for me to of set the "CPU Voltage Control" to 1.4 yet CPU-Z says voltages dont even go past 1.35?
