Hi anyone out there that has Tried Overclocking this Setup?
Care to share your configurations?

Hello guy ! Happy seeing that you're using almost the same rig as me :D For my case i have a 5600k and i have overclocked it at a mid range as i don't want to set high vcores in order to save my cpu and for energy saving because very high frequencies are noticeable through benchmarks only and not through 24/7 use... so i set my parameters as follow: 40x100 @ 1,30v / ddr3 at xmp1 8-8-8-24 2t @ 1,50v / llc at auto / turbocore off and integrated graphics off / cnq on / uncore-memory northbridge at 1800 mhz... when just received my rig i tried several settings till 42x100 @ 1,35v-1375v but during stress my rig was hanging or rebooting... and the gain of 200 mhz more isn't worth for me....

Finally a reply to my post hehe!
Well here is my complete setup
G1.sniper a88x
Amd A10-5800k
Gskills - 2133 2x4 ram
Corsair 450
Cooler master T4 = cpu cooler
Well so far i have not touched the Voltages since I have no idea what to change LOL
What idid was
change multiplier of CPU to 40 - i find this is the most stable
Change memory settings to XMP profile 1
GPU - 800 to 1000
-and from time to time it hangs :(
I have no plans on using another Video card since I am waiting for Kaveri
Have you tried overclocking with just the onboard GPU?

Sorry Solidsnak3 to hear that your rig hangs from time to time :-\ I think it could be an eventual problem of your psu... is it at least 80+ bronze ? As if you haven't desactivated the turbocore function it bumps your default vcore from 1,35v to 1,45v (+ 0,1v when activated) and your psu might have problem to give enough energy on the +12v rail...As piledriver/zambezi cores of those Apus are very hungry...try to disable turbocore and set manually the cpu vcore at +0,00v... Concerning my rig i have a Gigabyte HD 7970 Ghz Edition for the video coming from my previous am3+ rig so you should understand that i haven't tried (and will never) the integrated graphics of my cpu (onboard graphics) even though it is far away superior than the last intel onboard graphics... And indeed i have purchased this sniper and my 5600k for the upcoming KAVERI 8) ;D :D ;)

Hey man Thanks for the Reply looks like we are the only one who has this Configuration Love the Built in Audio By the way, Well to solve my issue Ill Just wait for KAVERI which was my original intention to begin with hahaha! Really Exited already on getting it and will be saving up I just dont know if on the 15th of January it will also already be available in Manila Philippines
Xsiing my fingers though If not Ill just get my self a 7900 Video card if i have the budget :D

Just hope Kaveri will keep its promises !! As concerns your rig even with the built in graphics upon Kaveri you will sooner or late buy a decent graphics card if you want to play last games on high resolutions and details... A good compromise are the R9 280X/270X or for a lower budget the R7 260X ;) But i think you will be obliged to change your psu for a 80+ bronze 500w or more...If so choose a good brand (Fortron, Seasonic, Antec, Silverpower, Silverstone, Be quiet, Superflower).
