Brothers/Sisters, would this do fine rather than a hyper 212 evo? The evo is hard to come by here now... Will it handle the 8350 with a mild oc to 4.5? Thanks!

It does well on mine. Recommend using it with 2 fans for best performance

 

[psyko12]

Thanks, payday is just a night away so I'll probably reserving one of this! Gonna love it! It will match the black color of my board/case and gpu

You never said anything about the timings or volts. Here's a rundown on some 1600 CL9 may be very similar. http://www.overclockers.com/forums/showthread.php?p=7009689

Just glanced at this particular page, will have to read through it more thoroughly (like once or twice in a week, just got back from work ), but thanx regardless. From what i saw - good read. Cheers, keep headbanging.

I you're talking about that ram page there's a lot of good info, Woomack knows his stuff.

Guys decided to sell my 8350 + motherboard. So if you want a good clocking chip here's your chance to claim one

You guys have first dibs also

Or if you are UK based buy mine lol

you guys decided to move to the dark side?

I have become one with hardware!

Nah I'm doing it to gain experience and progress with HWBOT


Still love the FX

 

[Super XP]

My FX-8350 OC'ed as seen in my system specs are still running hard and strong. No issues to report.
Looking forward to Steamroller FX CPU's.

Gonna buy Swiftech's H20 320 Elite liquid cooling kit from SideWinder Computers in 2 more months to cool this beast (FX-8350) down, from what i gathered throughout the web & here, tell me if these settings are more or less correct
for the 5.0GHz OC:

CPU frequency: 200MHz
CPU multi (ratio): x25
CPU voltage: 1.500v
CPU/NB frequency: 2800MHz
DRAM frequency: 1600/1866MHz
HT frequency: 2000/2200MHz
VDDA voltage: 2.800v
HT voltage: 1.20v(?)
NB voltage: 1.20v(?)
DRAM voltage: 1.50v(?)

Motherboard will obviously be Crosshair V Formula-Z. Thanks in advance. Cheers, keep headbanging.

YautjaLord,
Those settings are currently irrelevant. You need to start from scratch and gradually increase your OC bit by bit. So you get the max OC for all your settings.

CPU voltage will probably be closer to 1.55+ knowing most 8350's

Also youlll have a tough time getting that cpunb speed stable and heat low.

HT is stock 2600mhz 1.2v
NB stock Voltage 1.1v

your VDDA is too high, this kills/degrades chip (research VDDA or PLL) (usually kept around 2.5v -2.7v)

dram voltage should say on the the sticks

prime95 full blend test for upmost stability testing, watch temps with hwinfo64

Anyone looking for a reliable AM3+ motherboard ?

Will do, although i won't have all the necessary components right from a go; Feb 10 i'll probably go for CPU & OS (moving to Win 7 at last), March 10 - mobo (C5F-Z). (& no Durvelle i don't have enough cash to pay for shipping the mobo overseas, lol.) If i'll also have enough cash left - will also order H20 320 Elite liquid cooling kit by March 10 along with mobo, but that's a large IF. Thanx for sharing info.

P.S. Prime95 & hwinfo64 freeware or trial?

Shipping wouldn't cost much

 

[psyko12]

Hmm guys, question about ram and it's settings...
Was able to grab hold of some G.Skill Ripjaws they are rated 16000cl9 accodring to the box and it's 1.65v..


Popped it in and works flawlessly, although have had to input manually voltage and timings. When in windows it detects it as 1875mhz @ 1.63v, whilst in BIOS configuration pages it's saying it's at 1866mhz via 9.33 and voltage I've manually typed in 1.65v.... Is it ok to leave it as is or do I need to tweak more?

Have run prime for half a day, and AIDA64 stability test last night and no problems.

At the moment ibt still running in the background.

Thanks in advance ~

 

[nt300]

Yes should be fine. Most of the time the BIOS and Windows shows different speeds and volts even with the CPU speeds. So you should be fine.

Thanks, was thinking that there's something wrong with my mobo or the ram sticks haha coming from a very ancient ddr - 775 machine .

As for cpu case anyone hear good things about Cooler Master n600?

I'm at the moment torn between Corsair 400r and the CM n600 case....

Any inputs would do, so I can start my clocking adventures !

What model is that mobo? and where are you living?

The case depends a lot on your plans, maybe down the road you'd like to improve cooling ( water or AIO ) so that should be considered as well and it looks as if the CM n600 would accomodate a rad up top.

Now awaiting a Corsair 400r :-D hm. Might proly stay with good ol tower heatsink. Just plan to do mild oc for 24/7 usage

 

[Johan45]

Nice choice and it will accomodate a 240 rad as well if you eve change your mind.

Awesome xD , can't wait for it till tomorrow afternoon. It's +8 GMT here and this post is about 19:07 xD so till then holding off on pics, til the chassy arrive and the transplant is done haha... Still on stock cooler atm, the HSF will be arriving next week or Monday me thinks. [going all black internals , choose xigmatek's dkII]

EDIT: Here they come!!! xD

Spoiler

HSF Replacement prep

Installed xD

Here's my cable management to the best I can! (sorry if it's lame and don't ask about what's behind the mobo tray there's snakes and ladders there )

Dont know if its proper to post this here, but considering im aiming for Fx and OC i think i should listen first to your opinions guys before posting on the building pc thread. I had to sold all my rig due to traveling and moving in. So my question is , im planning on a $800 $900 max, gaming pc (BF4) and I say max seriously!!!!! dont know a sh$%& about AMD but never criticize his "bang 4 the buck" so im looking after a 4670k performance variant on amd like an fx6300 oc or a fx8350 for oc too. Need all your knowledge on this plz. what matters to me is how to get a good Fx for oc and a good mobo for it. i would like a gtx760 or a r9-270x, remember $800 max plzz, top $900 including everything . Thx to all. Want to hear all your opinions cuz im noob on amd. My build will be for the next 2 month.

 

[d1nky]

^^^ for the fx8350 you need a decent motherboard, probably the sabertooth, decent cooling, h220 and bigger, and a quality psu.

Cooling is key with this chip, the better the cooling the higher more stable the oc.

An fx9370 is also another possibility.
