A10-7850k OC Guide?

[Kiyuubi]

I have been trying to get a stable, and relatively cool, OC for my 7850k for some time now.  I have never OC'd before, so I am just looking up a bunch of different things on how to OC.  Ultimately I found just keeping everything stock a lot better than my crappy OCing.  

 

Does anyone know of any guides that are good?  For ASRock motherboards or in general?  I'm also using dual graphics.

I'd be able to help if it was intel but the last time I overclocked a AMD was quite a few years ago when 3 core AMDs were the thing. 

 

Sorry =/

Find out about your mobo vrm heatsinks. The heatsinks handle the heat and see if your mobo is good enough to overclock and if you overclock and your mobo is not good then it could damage other pc parts. Also get a aftermarket cooler like  a cooler master hyper 212 evo which will give it the good temps at a high speed.

If it has that ASRock OCTuner, use it. I got my Sempron within a gigahertz of it's top (got it to 3.8 with the software).

No worries.  I think I wouldn't be having such an issue if it wasn't an APU and I had a different motherboard.

I have the Hyper 212 Evo and my motherboard is the FM2A88M-HD+

I have already looked at those, but I'll give them another peak.  I know I don't have Vdroop in my BIOS.

[dragoon20005]

noticed your board don't have cooling on the VRMs and chokes

 

you may need to address that 

 

you can try download the updated BIOS

How would I address that?  I feel so stupid for buying all this stuff now ;-;.  I am on the latest BIOS version though, 2.40.

you can look for RAM heatsinks

like the one in the link to stick to the chokes and the VRM chips

Okay, thanks.  I will see if I can find some that fit mine for relatively cheap.

Hi i recentlly bought that CPU to test its capabilities, and i'm very impressed so far.

I would like to know all the parts of your build, to see if there are things to improve.

 

 

PD: playing BF4 multilayer at 1440x900 HIGH settings with 35 fps constant (without dual graphics, The board looks cute without a GPU through the side panel window).

 

The only thing I did was bump the GPU frecuency from 720 to 900, and pair it with some Gskill ram at 2400mhz (using MSI gaming board nice big heatsinks on its VRMs)

 

I tested dual graphics with Richland APUs, and there were noticeable improvements in FPS with games that supported it, so it shouldn't be any different now that the iGPU of kaveri has more power.

you can bump up the GPU to 1GHz for more power

 

yea that mobo have plenty of cooling

 

what cooler are you using?

 

typically you can get like 4.5-4.7GHz if you get the sweetspot

 

voltage ppl use with the A10 is like 1.44V

[harrynowl]

SHP isn't as good as clocking high as SOI used in previous CPUs. They tend to top out at 4.4ghz average. What I'd recommend is just bumping iGPU frequency. Try 900 and if its stable (no artifacts /freezing) then push towards 1000.
