Posted May 3, 2015 What do you mean? It depends more on the luck of the draw, of the processor you get.

Posted May 3, 2015 Overclocking a process that is different for everyone. You need to gradually increase voltage and clock speed while watching your CPU and VRM temperatures until you find a stable overclock you are okay with Nude Fist 1: i5-4590-ASRock h97 Anniversary-16gb Samsung 1333mhz-MSI GTX 970-Corsair 300r-Seagate HDD(s)-EVGA SuperNOVA 750b2 Name comes from anagramed sticker for "TUF Inside" (A sticker that came with my original ASUS motherboard) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 3, 2015 Author It depends more on the luck of the draw, of the processor you get. If my previous max OC was 4.2 ghz, would it improve to some degree?

Posted May 3, 2015 Specs claim "8+2 phase CPU VRM power design....." so it should do alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 3, 2015 If my previous max OC was 4.2 ghz, would it improve to some degree? (I was using an asrock MOBO with the same chipset) I'd say to some degree, if the board is really better than stability will be better.

Aight, but what would your estimations be if I completed the build with this MOBO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 3, 2015 Author Then that wasn't stable? Stability with prime95 for 2 hours, that was pretty stable to me. I guess the MOBO was a bottleneck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted May 3, 2015 Author Then that wasn't stable? I ran prime95 for 2 hours, went to killing floor 2 for an hour then did some mild browsing for an hour, so I thought that was a pretty stable stress to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 3, 2015 Author Then that wasn't stable? The stress test itself fried the mobo, it wouldn't turn on after browsing, it just froze and started giving 2 beeps every time I tried to turn it on so a fried motherboard was the conclusion.

If you're going above ~1.45v without really knowing what you're doing you have a pretty good chance to fry a FX CPU. You're not using auto voltage are you?

Nope, I stuck with 1.45 as it was a stable voltage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, what do you think is fried? the CPU or the motherboard, it has been giving 2 beeps and never turning on since the overclock. I've tried everything, and I mean EVERYTHING Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted May 3, 2015 it was an asrock 970 pro3 That was only a 4 stage power design with no heat sinks. No wonder it died. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
