We have a 3x6' chest freezer that I've been eyeing up D1nmeister. Haven't figured out how to get it in the computer room yet but I will.

I swear you've been reading over my shoulder, I just typed that in another thread a day or two ago. I wanted a summer cottage in Antarctica is what I said

Hello I am running at 1.55 CPU Vcore volts and 4.6Ghz

With my testing any voltage under that would crash with P95


Also I don't seem to be able to overclock any higher without the system crashing in prime95, which is odd because it isn't a heat constraint I have never seen the CPU go over 50C so I really feel like I am losing the potential of this CPU.

I want to get a 4.8Ghz 24/7 stable CPU

I have h110, and would love your help thanks!

Let's have a look under the hood so to speak. We have no idea what parts you have either. Could you post up a shot of CPU-z Main, SPD and Memory tabs and also a shot of HWMonitor free open while you have P95 blend running. This will let us see what voltages are doing and temps.

I am overclocking via multiplier.

After doing some testing with the VLCC, if I set the VLCC to Extreme at 4.6Ghz it crashes during p95 but if the VLCC is standard then it won't crash,


I just want to say thank you for the help btw in advance also what is ud3?

You should go into your account page and add your system specs.

I have been told to turn the voltage to 1.6 to be 4.8/5Ghz stable.

If I got to 5Ghz I would be extremely happy!

I dont have much experience with AMD overclocking, but doing 1.6v on air? You need water cooling to clock those FX chips that high I am pretty sure, or just a better air cooler than what you got.

I dont want a screenshot. Go to your TPU account page by clicking your user name in the upper right corner, and go down to system specs and add them.

Also if this is your first build, strongly recommend reading FX overclocking guides or something, because you are likely doing something very wrong.

Sorry that was original part list, I have h110 now and 2 after market fans running on the radiator in push and the two stocks running in pull.

I will try 1.6v now at 5Ghz but first let me post screenshot of current stable 4.6 as Johan asked earlier

I am going to reboot now at 1.6V and 5Ghz to see the results, as someone on teamspeak suggested that I will be right back

Ok running 1.65V now at 5Ghz and I am posting this from the system so it's web browsing stable so far I will try playing a game.

It seems I may have a bad chip, is there any max voltage that is damaging to the CPU? As long as you have the cooling of course.

Also what is Load line calibration? I have mine set to Standard what's best?
