[Help] AMD FX 6100 + ASRock N68-VS3 FX

[esjavii22]

Hello I have a mother ASROCK N68-VS3 FX. micro FX-6100, 2x4 gb ram kigston 1600mhz, thermaltake sp530 smart power supply.
I can't do stable OC nor to 3.7 with stock Vcore(1.30v), everyone can up to 4.0. I can use the pc play cod4 etc, but when I run the prime95 my pc freezes and I have to restart
This is how I have everything:

Overclock mode: manual.
and increase
CPU FREQUENCY to 220.
PCI FREQUENCY LEAVE IT AT 100 DO NOT TOUCH IT
CPU MULTIPLIER to 18.5, for example.
NB FREQUENCY MULTIPLIER to 12X, although I think with the FX it is not so important.

Lower the ram first. This is in MEMORY CLOCK you put MANUAL and select a value below. If they are 1600 select 1333.

You only have to play with the voltages.

@emeritoaugusto:

Overclock mode : manual.
y sube
CPU FRECUENCY a 220.
PCI FRECUENCY DEJALA A 100 NO LA TOQUES
CPU MULTIPLER a 18,5, por ejemplo.
NB FRECUENCY MULTIPLER a 12X, aunque creo que con los FX no es tan importante.

Baja la ram primero.Esto es en MEMORY CLOCK pones MANUAL y seleccionas un valor por debajo. Si son de 1600 selecciona 1333.

Solo te queda jugar con los voltajes.

El OVERCLOCK MODE, tengo 4 opciones, OPTIMIZED, ASINC, SINC, AUTO
El CPU FRECUENCY en ninguna opcion me lo deja cambiar.

Despues puede ser que me tire fallo y se congele con el prime por que yo las memorias la ponia manual a 1600 y cuando asia OC al micro subian, y por eso cuando tiraba el prime95 se me congelaba la pc?

You have to set the memory to 1333

That motherboard is low-end, low. It doesn't cost even 50€. It's not suitable for overclocking, which is why you can't put it at 4ghz.

In addition, the FX comes unlocked, it's about changing the multiplier, setting voltage and that's it. I had a similar experience with a Phenom II 965. On an Asus motherboard of 60€, with a better look than yours, I could only put the micro at 3.8ghz. It was about putting a high-end motherboard second-hand and voilà, I could put it at 4ghz without problems.

A cheap motherboard is for what it is, for a computer to work, you can't demand the same from a high-end one, with moffset dissipation, many more power phases and better connections or the same chipset.

Otherwise, why buy expensive motherboards? Try to overclock as much as you can on that motherboard and that's it, but don't look at what the rest achieve with better motherboards than yours.

Regards.

for those prices, a Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 109 bucks on amazon is better

@Franziskaner:

for those prices, better a Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 109 euros on amazon

A question, what does that gigabyte have (ignoring the possibility of sli) that an Asrock 970 Pro3 or one of the gigabyte 970s don't?

It's 30€ difference

Hello, do you know if this motherboard supports the FX 6100 black edition 6 core?
in the specifications of this motherboard it says that it only supports up to the FX 4320, do you know how you made it work?

The motherboard does not officially support that micro, and there are very few AM3+ micros that it supports, so it is a bad option.

Look for a more modern motherboard, as already commented in this same post from 10 years ago

Salu2!
