Safe voltages - FX 8350

[Laurysss]

So my mobo is not very good for ocing - now i am at  1.4625 V on 4.5 ghz with my fx 8350 stable. Should i go more with the voltage? 4.6 with 1.4625 V is not stable. Will this reduce the life span of the cpu?

no that's about as high as i would go with this motherboard and your cpu cooling solution should not be able to dissipate much more heat IMHO...if you want more performance get an intel CPU.

same thing...1.45max...i would even stick to 1.425v just to make sure you won't blow anything.

Your motherboard is only a 4+1 power phase board it's not very for overclocking fx 8 core CPU's and it will trottle if you go with more volts.

Can I actually damage something?

yes off course you could if you send too much power to the point where the voltage regulation modules on your motherboard can't handle the heat and stress from it, yes sure you can break your motherboard which in turn can blow your CPU with it...it could cost you a lot...1.4v is safe range IMHO you still have japaneese caps and mosfets but the power delivery design is not really up to snatch...1.45v is defenetly pushing your luck on this...if you have ran stress test with prime 95 or similar at 1.465 volts you are lucky not to have damaged anything.

Your words scare me. I really want 4.5 but it only goes with 1.45v..

it won't change performance much anyways outside of benchmarks mate...it's not worth risking the firework.

You should set Vcore to 1.4v and see if 4.2ghz would be stable.
