8350 self overclocking?

[Timopomer]

my 8350 seems to overclock itself even tho i put the bios on silent mode and didnt touch any core settings....

 

i rather have it run stock 4GHz then be 100Mhz faster and sound like a leafblower

what can i do to stop this,untill i get my new cooler?

Turn off turbo core

info about turbo here: http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Bulldozer/AMD-FX-Series%20FX-8350.html

Some of them come @4.0Ghz and some will come @4.2Ghz   Mine came @ 4.2Ghz

Turn your multiplier down to x20. Make sure cool and quiet is turned on.

it usually runs at 1400 at idle,i didnt touch the multiplier...it does it by itself

^- this, turbo core "auto-oc"s to 4.1 and 4.2 GHz

amd,let me handle my overclocks OK???  :angry:

Most processors have this "turbo" feature, it dynamically changed the clock speed of the cpu, depending on the type of load it's under, I suppose your could call it auto-overclocking, but it really isn't, these chips are designed to run at 4.2GHz. If you run prime95 on one CPU core, you will notice it will be at 4.2GHz, but on all eight it will go down to 4.0GHz..

The cpu is just designed like that. It will run at lower frequencies when it's not under load to improve efficiency and when needed will speed up to maximum frequency, which is 4.2 ghz (on a single core). I'd leave it like that, it's just the optimal setting. Manually turning it down won't improve noise much anyway.

I would say get new cpu cooler or new fan for it
