Hi all,

I thought I’d post this here as It may get a faster response

I’ve just oc’d my cpu from 3.4ghz to 3.8ghz
It booted and was stable into windows and lauched gw2 with my ultra low settings and allowed me to play. In game I tweaked the graphics settings up and my PC switched off. Any suggestions?

My cpu temp went from 37c to 39c (cpu-id) in LA. The oc was done from the bios with an auto tune function (Crosshair iv mobo).

Crosshair iv – phenom 965 – 8gb ddr3 (cant remember make at work!) – ssd – ide – 6950 2gb -750w dual rail. vendetta cooler well vented case.

Well, I would test your stability after overclocking before jumping in gaming right away. I would recommend downloading Prime95 and running that for a few hours to make sure your CPU is stable at the new frequency. Personally, I’m not a fan of auto overclocks, I prefer to manually do it so I know what the settings are exactly.

So as far as the threads go. If you want an AMD cpu to perform well with Guildwars2 you will need to do this?:
