Right so i have a FX-8350 in a CHVFZ with 16gb of corsair vengence ram (1866mhz)
my psu is an OCZ ZX1250w so plenty of stable volts to be had, i just havent overclocked before and there are so many settings in the bios so i tried using ai suite auto tuning and i only get 2% boost!
can anybody help me out? i see people with near 5ghz clock speeds on here and i want some of that!!

any help greatly taken.

Pardon me for hijacking your thread momentarily, but how do you get into the bios on a G75?

try dropping your ram down to 1333 as ai suite OC via the FSB it may be pushing your ram to far.. if your auto tuning try that first

I'm pretty sure it already is cos they default to that on auto settings in bios anyway. But I shall take a look and see, don't get how cool and quiet can take it to 4.2ghz but I can't on auto tune! Is there a setting I've missed or can someone post voltage settings ect so I can do it all manually?

Bios is fine I flashbacked that straight out the box.
I've had problems with steam and 3d mark atm and formatted that drive and now auto tuning has taken me to 4.5ghz and stable so far.

That would be your signature. To edit it just go to:

1. Settings (Top right of the forums).
