Does it have a heat pipe going from mosfet cooler to the northbridge? The rev number will be on the bottom left corner in the pci slot end.

Here is a shot of my rev number.

 

[OverclockNoob]

What revision is your ud3?

Hello sir how would I check that

 

[ThE_MaD_ShOt]

See in the pic i posted the rev 1.1. You have the same board as I have. Your rev number is in the same place

 

[MxPhenom 216]

Hello sir, thank you for the response how would I be able to check this?

also still running 5Ghz at 1.65v doesn't seem to be crashing

Run Prime95 on it. Minecraft is not stressing at all.

 

[ThE_MaD_ShOt]

I have a feeling it may burn down if he stresses it to hard.

 

[Durvelle27]

Just spiked to 50C while chunk rendering but it's back now

Please edit your post instead of posting a new one everytime

 

[OverclockNoob]

Sorry about that durvelle

Hello thanks for the help I believe it is rev 4.0 and sorry for all the posts

@ OverclockNoob

First stop using 1.6+ volts on air or you're going to wreck your parts !! Then read through this guide. http://www.overclockers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=688663

As for a stable OC with air cooling you're looking at 4.5 maybe a bit more. And as I said in my first response give us dome info or we really can't help too much.

 

[ThE_MaD_ShOt]

I think he said he has a h110. With 4 fans. But he won't fill out his system specs. Can't tell if we are being trolled or not.

 

[Johan45]

Either way 1.6+v and throwing settings around like that isn't going to do him any favours.

 

[OverclockNoob]

Hello sorry for late response yeah, that part list was my original build but I ordered h110 and installed it.

I am running 1.675V atm, should I lower?

Sorry if I was unclear with my posts and part lists this is my first build

Thank you for the help!

 

[ThE_MaD_ShOt]

You keep upping it at the rate you are, you're going to burn it down. Fill out your system specs and gives us some cpu-z screen shots. If your new at overclocking you need to take it slow. You can fry stuff real quick then you'll have nothing.

I mean hell, I am at 4.43 ghz with 1.35 volts.

The mad shot is right! You need to do this systematically, read this link I suggested earlier and follow this. http://www.overclockers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=688663 That cooler is good for about 1.5v for a stable system. If you don't care about random crashes and a funny burning plastic smell one day just keep on keeping on.

 

[OverclockNoob]

I see thank you for the help, it seems my voltage is far too high, also VLCC what should I set that to? The tutorial seems to not say.

I am not sure why my chip is so unstable at lower voltages I will follow that tutorial and post results/ask questions, thank you guys!

"but safe on air up to 1.45-1.5v "

So for this cooler what would you recommend for voltage and the VLCC?

Do you not realize that every chip is different? Your chip will not overclock like the next person's.

You need to take it slow, unless you have loads of money that you can spend on replacement chips.

If theres nothing mentioned about VLCC then leave it alone.

I see, well I am not sure what the normal VLCC value is

Is there an auto option? set it to that. What you should do is reset your cmos and start over. Dont push higher than 1.55v.

 

[OverclockNoob]

Some people say extreme so I am not sure sir, I am sorry if I sound completely stupid

I see I will do that, although from my past experience 1.55v would crash on anything over 4.6Ghz but it would be not because of thermal reasons

 

[MxPhenom 216]

and do you need higher than 4.6? Probably not for any app, especially gaming.

 

[OverclockNoob]

I don't need it at all, honestly I have never had lag at stock frequency I just want to get the highest stable overclock I can

I just want to have a 5Ghz CPU stable

Update: running 1.55v and vlcc set to extreme at 5Ghz I'll try gaming to see if its stable

Seems stable so far and its .1V lower then before

 

[Johan45]

Leave the LLC to high. Are you testing this with anything but gaming like Prime95 blend ? The tutorial mentions that I'm sure

hey thanks for the response, I haven't tested it on p95 yet do you think I should?

 

[ThE_MaD_ShOt]

Most people find the absoulute highest clock they can to get a screen shot in the os. They do not leave it there for day to day. I have mine at 4.4 for day to day and crunching. I know my chip will do more but I have no reason for it. For gaming mine is perfectly fine with it crossfired gpu's. When you hit a certain overclock, lets say 5ghz people usually take a screen shot in the os to show it.


I am putting my 8350 under water this week as soon as my bracket arrives, You think I am going to push it harder, nope. I may do a quick push but won't leave it there.

I see, but at 5Ghz won't it have better performance? It's essentially a 9590 now

 

[ThE_MaD_ShOt]

On yeah it will be better performance, but you need t ask yourself, is it performance you will see in real life and is amd going to warranty the chip if you fry it?

As for LLC, I am half drunk right now with a bucket of chicken in my lap and 2 beers in front of me. I click johan's link on the overclocking guide. First I seen it. True story. First thing that popped out at me was, and I qoute "If you have LLC option set it to the highest or second to highest. "
