8350 Overclocking help

[BigChimp97]

hmm that sucks.

 

maybe add a bit more voltage to the chip.

pin it on 1.48V.

 

you could also play abit arround with the bus and cpu ratio if you like to.

like backning off the the bus to 220. and bump up the cpu ratio.

I'll give it a go, but even at 1.45 its getting hot. Would the cpu get that hot whilst gaming? Or is it the worst possible scenario

well stress testing simulates a worst case scenario offcourse.

In gaming it will not run that hot.

In rendering my cpu went up to 54C which is basicly acceptable.

 

you could also try to play arround with the bus and cpu ratio like i said.

22x220= 4840Mhz.

set voltage to arround 1.46 / 1.48V.

 

it depends a bit on your chip, i have one of the first FX8350 batches.

 

But what kind of cooling do you have? probably missed that somewhere

Noctua NH-D15 and even at 1.45 its getting around 65 degrees c

Put it upto 1.46 and it still failed at the same point. My temps reached 75 though

[BigChimp97]

It refuses to go any higher and be stable.... I have conceded defeat 

[WaitForMeImOnDialUp]

did you try only upping the multiplier and not the bus?  also i always had trouble trying to set the LLC and cpu capability i always left them on auto. with your set-up you have to be able to get at least 4.6-4.7ghz .you  could also try setting your ram down to 1333 (if raising bus).

 

ibt will raise temps way higher than you will ever likely hit,during stress testing you could hit in the 70's and still be fine. you could also try to stabilize with occt or aida instead

 

dude i got 4.5 with the stock cooler i know you can get higher with a noctua 15

[CoolaxGaming]

OK, try Load line calbiration, more NB volts and stuff. I an get 4.7 with 1.45 volts

Also try blck overclocking

I tried it with just the multiplier and it fails at the same place every time, just after the second test on IBT it fails

I cant even get 4.5 on 1.4 volts anymore -.-

[BigChimp97]

Is my chip just mega bad? Or is there something wrong? Something im doing wrong? It isnt stable, even at 1.41 volts - 4.5Ghz it wont stay stable on IBT it always crashes at about 50 seconds in

[D3MON]

How come some people have been able to get 4.8Ghz at 1.45 volts but mine wont even do 4.6? Also what is the safe limit of voltage to throw at it?

i used to run 1.425 4.7ghz daily

worthless, now i run 4.5ghz at 1.3v (1.256 under load, 1.225VID) temps are much lower and cpu will no doubt last longer, id say go for that.

if you're already at 4.5ghz which means you have some serious performance, if you really need more overall power you probably want a 4790k/5820k.

if you want more single threaded performance get a pentium-k and scream the nuts off it. that 300mhz wont make a noticable benefit.

and stop using intel burn test, try the AOD test or prime 95 blend.

For some reason (using intel burn test) i couldnt get it stable at 4.5Ghz even at 1.41 volts

Depends on your temps of course, but sounds like you've reached the limits of your chip.  More voltage could help, but it's unlikely.

4.4Ghz is... very dissapointing. Might aswell leave it at stock and let it turbo boost upto 4.4 tbh

One thing you could try if you haven't already is adjusting the Load-Line Calibration setting on the motherboard to "High".  Just keep an eye on temperatures.

 

But yeah, with the voltage you're running you're pretty much at the thermal wall for most coolers.

My coolers handling it fine. Its just that adding on mote voltage is pointless for just a small amount of performance boost. Incredibly dissapointed with this chip

IIRC they <<handicapped>> 8350 when they did the 9590's because they put the premium stock in the 9590's. So that might be why you can't go as high, It's still a 4,4 for 150$.

[Interfectorem]

Crank the voltage higher. I have my FX-8320 at 4.8 GHz with 1.5v and it's 24/7 perfectly stable.

only problem with that, is that my 8350 hits 70 at 1.47

Well thats a kick in the nuts. I got my 8350 after the 9590 came out -.-

Really? Darn that's some high temps. THe socket can go up to 70, but the core can only go up to 62

That was after hours of testing so my room had probanly gotten too hot

[BigChimp97]

Should i give OCCT a go instead on Prime and IBT?

[GoodN1ght]

I don't want to rub  it in but i'm kinda puzzled as to why your mobo costs more than your CPU, anyways. You probably just lost the silicon lotto. This chip was OC'd at 8.2 GHZ (yes by pros but still)
