AMD FX OC'ers Club

My little upgrade, change the FX-8350 1229PGN for FX-9590. Turbo enabled:


all cores load 48xx MHz (1.405 V stable)


New cooler, Swiftech H220 allinone (old one was Corsair H100)

At first I was think H*** S*** but then I noticed this " all cores load 48xx MHz (1.405 V stable) " that's still great, what lLC were you using or board it said 1.2v or did you have all the green stuff on? My 9370 does the same with 1.428v P95 stable. I was starting to wonder where you were ?

Blend tests lots of RAM & most of everything, Small FFTs are for testing least amount of RAM/CPU's cache & more of CPU's stability - will go for Small FFTs 1st, then see how's Blend test doing. 2 hours of each are enough for this OC, right? Will also disable C1E in BIOS (still enabled, forgot to mention it) & monitor shut down options.

Don't forget C6, APM and enable HPC
 
Currently my 8350 is only at 4.4, turbo off, stock voltage, when I am gaming. When I'm not at home and I'm mining, It's clocked down to 2.5, 1.15v, and only 4 cores active, turbo off as well. Sadly, my temps are not as cool as these, idle, I'm looking at ~40C, and under load it gets up to ~50C (over clocked). I think it might be the H80 not performing as well as I'd like, and/or the 2 660's generating more heat. I'm going to have seriously take it apart and look at my fans again. May be an intake issue, rather than an exhaust issue...

Yes 2 cards in SLI will produce a ton of heat that usually gets dumped into the case. I would geta as much air flow through that case as possible. I'd also experiment with the side vents. Probably mount a 120 in the lowest hole for an exhaust to see if that gets rid of some of that heat. When I had mine set up in a case I had 300+ CFM moving through the case plus the side fan for exhaust of the SLI heat.
 
It's the same place as the C6,C1E under CPU configuration.
 
Johan: Im busy. Finishing some project where Im one of owners and making some reviews of Z97 boards/CPU. Finally some time for AMD. But after next 2 weeks because Im traveling at holiday :). Something new is in my hands from ROG :)....
 
I summon my latest build: SCORPIOUS ***WIP***

Can I join? I promise I'll OC :toast:

Thanks to james for the W8 key and Norton for helping me with the RAM :respect:
 
for OC you need serious cpu cooler, not BOX :). BOX maybe with the stock VID OC

Amen to that, you can't get anywhere with stock cooler.
@FlanK3r I'm getting ready to try my first DICE. Got a Crosshair III brand new on E-Bay for $80. Just tested it out last night and now tear down and waterproof. I'm going to give my PIIs etc. a run for their money.

@TRWOV What are the specs on that thing??
 
It isn't complete yet but specs will be:

FX8350
Gigabyte 990FXA-UD7
8GB OCZ DDR3-2000 CL10 RAM (current placeholder 4GB Kingston DDR3-1333)
Powercolor HD7970 Vortex (GT640 as place holder)
Corsair H80 (stock cooler as place holder)
NZXT Source 210
Cooler Master Silent Pro 700w
Kinstong V300 60GB SSD (boot drive)
500GB Hitachi HDD

:peace:

That all looks pretty good, the only suggestion I would make if you're going for an AIO then go bigger would a 2x120 fit in that case??
 
I already have the H80, I'm just waiting for some fans I bought. The H80 barely fits on the back, maybe a 240 could go at the top but the fan spacing isn't correct.
 
Ya I though it looked pretty tight. The H80 will work for a decent OC but I doubt you'd be hitting the big numbers. These things are terribly hot.
 
Cant wait to get my rig finished. Ill run stock (other than trying to run ram at 2133Mhz for its stock speed) for a few weeks of gaming then start bumping the clocks a lil bit

New toys are sooo much fun !!
 
With youtube video at backroud, so a bit lower score than normal :)

If those are your Tridents, try at CR1. My 4x8GB kit does 10-12-12-31 1T at 1.65V.

Than i can say all of these power saving options are disabled, from C'n'Q to APM. Will Prime this OC this Friday, or even maybe today after get back from work. Cheers, keep headbabhgin'!!!! :rockout:
 
yes, but you cna see mi 24/7 setup, non OC craziest :). I think, 2800 MHz NB is possible with this chip around 1.35V CPUNB :)

OK, Flank3r , I'll back off on the NB. I was mostly just having fun with ya. I still didn't like the Tridents all that much especilly on the FX platform. The older G.skill Pis and Flares have worked out the best for me.
 
Not Prime95 stable & i did everything you said Johan45: HPC enabled, power saving options (in BIOS & OS) disabled, maybe i should tweak something else. CPU, CPU/NB, HT voltages are all @ 1.20v, bump those up? Ran this f***er twice right now, both times it ran for about 4, maybe 5 mins & then everything just freezes up, Reset button, end. F***in' pisses me off! I'll check this out with new fans, whatever i'll buy, if it's not stable - f**k it, i call it a day. As long as it runs C:R, Carma1 & Splat Pack, AvP3 & Serious Sam HD - i'm fine with it.

P.S. Chose Small FFTs - maximum heat transfer, least amount of RAM used, dumps everything into L2 cache. Heard both times fans speed up, then everything i said above. This sh*t sucks. lol
