it might be okay at that... im just saying, overclocking only has a few benefits, mostly in heavily threaded apps like folding or rendering...but if you was doing that you'd of been better off with an 8320, at 4.0-4.4 or whatever you'll likely never bottleneck, your voltage wont be through the roof and your motherboard and cpu will have a nice long prosperous gaming life :D

make sure to keep an eye on load voltage with cpu-z load line calibration can throw things way off.

happy overclocking piledriver  bulldozer buddy!

Been running for 15 min, so far at a stable 4.2ghz with Voltage at 1.44, temps at 50 degrees.

Yeah i relize that. The problem is, right now the extent of my money is the 10 dollars sitting on my floor.

So either ill get one when i have money, or get a loan from my parents when it explodes.

 

I want to get an evga 750 g2 for modularity and extra power for the future tho.

It's on sale, so it might cost 60$ after a few days, so try to order one asap. You can always get a 750 G2 somewhere

hmm, yeah, but i dont want to waste 30 USD just to spend more again for a new PSU. Ill be sleeving once i get modular. If this was modular idd hop on it but...

 

EDIT: but then again, this review of the PSU i have on amazon...

This review is from: Cooler Master eXtreme Power Plus 500w Power Supply (RS500-PCARD3-US) (Electronics)
Thats just what happened, I connected this Osama bomb and when i switched the power on it blew up! it almost burned my entire system down. Do not buy this unless youre a terrorist.

Reaching the 30 min mark at 4.2ghz, 1.44 volts, 51 degrees C

49 minutes, one core failed. Time to bring up the voltage and start again...

EDIT: Its at 1.45 volts now

Start all the way up there? That seems high, BUt ill try.

 

BTW my MB is MSI 970a-g43

 

I have only seen issues with that motherboard.

 

49 minutes, one core failed. Time to bring up the voltage and start again...

EDIT: Its at 1.54 volts now

 

I hope you are not at 1.54 volts.

 

 

Lets start again.

 

Put the multi and voltage back to stock. Have LLC on Very high or Extreme. 

 

Then put your CPU under load and monitor what your voltage does from idle to load. OCCT is very useful for this.

 

I need to see how the board delivers voltage and if there is any vdroop.

 

Also, what ram do you have? You need to manually enter in the timings and adjust the ram multi to fix the speed.

Ok almost 30 min at 4.2ghz,  53 degrees, 1.454 volts.

So far soo good

ok so my ram is vengeance 1x8gb 1600mhz. 

And i ment 1.45 volts.

NOw, what is LCC?

Amd ill do what you said. ill telkl you what happens

Find the exact ram you bough so we can find the timings and voltage.

 

If you are 30 minutes stable at 4.2 and 1.454 then you can leave it there. I posted that before you other post.

 

LLC, CPU Load Line Calibration. It controls vdroop.

Oh OK so then I was good. I'll tell you the ram in one sec, my PC just restarted when I tried to set it to stock, somehow multiplier whent to 35x.

You will want to take your ram settings off of auto and manually enter in the timings in the Advanced DRAM configuration

 

10-10-10-27

 

The voltage is listed at 1.500 volts. Give this a slight bump to 1.525 volts. While you are in the bios check to see what you have set for CPU NB voltage and PLL/VCCA voltage. 

 

Report those voltages after setting ram up. I would also recommend to disable APM and enable HPC Mode. 

 

I would add another stick or a different kit with two sticks of ram. You are giving up performance by running only 1 stick in single channel mode.

hmm im not sure i can change the ram stuff from this... im not actualy using the bios, but msi control center, which is basicly the bios. Here is my settings

Use the bios. It is more likely to be less problematic and more adjustable then a software solution.

 

Raise DRAM voltage from 1.4995 to 1.525.

Raise CPU NB voltage from 1.1970 to 1.25

Did that, but used control center, cause its eiser and is basicly the bios and hasnt given me probs

Should i stress test again with prime95?

Were you able to set the individual ram timings?

I could set the DRAM voltage, not timings

You need to set the DRAM timings in the bios then since the speeds looks set in the control center. 

 

Incorrect timings can cause problems with stability and actually cause a computer to fail to boot.

Cas Latency(CL) 10

RAS# Precharge (tRP)10

Cycle Time (tRAS) 27

OK, whent to bios and changed everything
