i just moved into 5.1 GHz

This one isn't having any temp issues it is still loading under 60C, but really no reason to push the voltage up. It's definitely a high leak chip that would love some cold.

yeah im stepping into unknown territory actually, trying to fix my sig too

I have been playing with these things. Great little HTPC boxes, just built a second one to get my PS3 retired as the media center downstairs.

awesome, i fixed my signature, im a lil scared of my chip now (wonder what the quitting rate of it is)

Update, Vcore has to be at 1.476 for mine to even pass the WEI tool without lock up on CPU testing,

It would Seem 5.1Ghz is Stable for Gaming Even, I tried 5.2 locks, even with Voltage at 1.5V, 5.3 Windows Locks up. I presume Im hitting either the max electrical capability of the chip or a thermal barrier on Air

Is my temps with stock setting normal for this chip?FX 8370 @stock no turbo all cool n quiet disabled in bios On a wraith cooler with out of box tim pad .Under load in GTAV i get thermal margin of 40-43c

 

[Johan45]

That looks about right, just FYI the temps aren't really accurate untill the package reaches about 45C

This seem to be on par for clocks?

Nice overclock Jr.

Nice overclock Jr.

Thanks! I am looking through my past posts in here. Looks to be I was getting 4.2Ghz with that core volt on this cpu/ram combo. Right now I'm just testing the waters with the matx board/inverted board mounting setup. Its too bad I cant find a matching kit for my ridgebacks, those things do 2300mhz @ cl9 1.65v

 

[JrRacinFan]

OK my only gripe on this board. It automatically overrides the CNQ/C1E settings when adjusting anything multipler wise. Meaning I cant run the power saving features and OC to 4+Ghz, as this chip does near that on stock volts.

40 is normal, mine heavy ocd gets to the 50s

still playing with the OC Settings....
given me a little headache going past 5GHz

currently the cpu feels kinda sleepy when switching tasks, might needs a bit more juice.....
current CPU voltage:

Is the Noctua D15 worth getting if i want to overclock to say 4.5 ,Only ask because i get stuck ordering it from my usual store warehouse,$145 for it too.

 

[n0tiert]

i just moved into 5.1 GHz

I´m in

but it want´s more VCore than yours..... 1.512 Volt

Dont worry about it, by the way llc is definitely for these 5GHz ocs. @H82LUZ73
The noctua cooler should work good, im on a slim cooler (sig rig)

Hello,
Just wanted to say hi and thanks for this forum, I am starting to OC my machine and I'm sure I'll be around asking questions. I've already garnered a lot of useful information.

I am mainly interested in improving single core performance on my 8350, to improve frame rates with my Oculus coming soon.

Thanks for everything,
OPG

My current rig:
Mobo - Asus Crosshair V Formula 990FX
CPU - FX-8350
GPU - AMD R9 290, Asus
Mem - Corsair Vengance @1600
PSU - Cooler Master GX 750w
Assorted SSDs

Welcome onboard m8
feel free to ask, you might fill your Systems specs with those Details

happy OC´n

Go into core settings and set 1 per module and clock it higher.

NH-D15 installed will post pics later )))))) ok went from this To this sweet cooler

You should reach 4.7 Fairly Easily. 4.8-4.9 with minor Vcore bump, 5.0+ Definite LLC and VCore adjust. Set the ram with XMP (DOCP for Asus)

Already hit 4.3 on stock volts,Not sure why i see guys typing in 1.44370 volts on boards mine just has -50 and stuff looking for info on it now.990FXA-UD5 rev 3.1 board. (doing some 3dmark in win 10 now)

I don't suppose you've tried upping both NB and HT to 2600MHz

 

[H82LUZ73]

My first run on Win10 @4.3 overclock stock volts I see the temps stay under 50 degrees,Most on that graph is 48 .This a run while downloading win 10 preview 14295 lol Will try 4.5 on stock wish me luck . not sure how to post 3D mark results,but this is copy past win10 scored8,921 better then 8.1 8,694.

Not gonna push volts just quite yet.

 

[H82LUZ73]

Wow who would have thought +.750 volts =1.404 volts in my BIOS (yeah UFEI is new for me)Any ways @4.5 @ 1.404 volts everything else stock highest temps i see in 3DMark was 49 degrees. My results versus last run Broke 9, points My temp graph and setting cupz is for Gigabytes OC branded boards.These AMD GPU`s and CPU`s seem to be very tight in temps .

LOL quick update hit 4.7 @1.404v and guess what is running,Damn Malware-Bytes lol waiting for it to end .Under Win8.1

Under Win10 right now ,something was up with my Win 8.1 install,doing a check disk now .Shame too wanted to run 4.8 at 1.445 volts before she took a dump on me.Stuck in Win 10 until it finishes.
