[HELP] Will i kill my CPU?

[79 Potatoes]

I think the guy is used to oc intel. What software is better to read the temp?

Best way is BIOS, but obviously you can't stress test the CPU there...

You'd try AIDA64 but I think in your case it's going to be related with sensors and not wrong readings

 

That's a bad overclock and forcing your CPU past 1.3V is bad.

Safe voltage isn't the same for all CPUs. 

ie: you can apply 5,5 V on a A80386-16 but not on a 4790K (1,3-1,35 V). Same thing applies for this case. FX safe voltage is around 1,45-1,5 V

Right, bellow 1,3 you can do nothing with an AM3+

[OAcesync]

omg

AM3+ dont overclock with 1.3-

Okay well that also depends on another thing do you have a 990FX mobo?

PGA is different than LGA.........PGA can handle higher volts than LGA.

AMD FX6300 • GA 990FXA-UD3 4.0 • 16GB G.SKILL TridentX  • EVGA SN 750W G2

[DXMember]

1.325V max! Electronics are sensitive to higher voltage, especially CPUs. Most electronics don't use more than 5V.

You're thinking about haswells

even sandybridge took 1.4V liek a man

FX CPUs are know to run even at 1.5V

Okay fair enough I take back what I said

250 fsb is much?

[Lays]

That voltage is fine, test for a few hours to confirm it's stable and you're golden!

 

 

Why are their so many uninformed people on this forum when it comes to overclocking, holy shit.

 

"OH MY GOD OH NO DONT GO PAST 1.3V"

 

It's a dam AM3+ cpu, they have high starting voltages and can handle well over 1.5v with proper cooling no problem.

I was searching how your mb handles FSB. Suddenly found this pic of the BIOS, is your BIOS like that?

If yes, you shouldn't worry if your OC is stable because looks like the FSB is asynchronous for the CPU

no its like that:

Wait, forgot mentioning one thing

You'll have to adjust NB and HT multipliers to bring them to stock frequencies to avoid instability.

(Seems like in your case stock would be NB= 2000 MHz and HT = 2600 MHz, RAM = 1600)

You are right with 1.3v you cant do a thing! Its better high fsb or multiplier?

[79 Potatoes]

Multiplier if you can, FSB can be messy as my last comment, you'll have to adjust NB, HT and RAM too.

With this mobo FSB will raise NB clock. I cant change that

[79 Potatoes]

NB, HT and RAM

In that pic you linked me as your BIOS example:

Northbridge = "CPU NorthBridge Frequency"

Hypertransport = "HT Link Frequency"

RAM= "System Memory Multiplier"

 

As you increased FSB, you'll have to turn down those multipliers till you reach the stock frequency (NB 2000 MHz, HT 2600 MHz and RAM 1600 MHz)

[DXMember]

as long as you pass the stress tests and witness no instability that would tell you otherwise, 250 fsb is good

Even if a mark the stock for NB and HT they will raise with FSB. Only memory i can change the mult.

 

By the way i cant change the memmory mult the mobo wont boot. I can only raise the mem clock through the FSB. Why?

[exxco]

thanks! So i cant be worried with the peak of 1.48 Volts? 

 

The average vcore stays between 1.44~.1.46

Raise? You've to decrease the multiplier.

 

At this moment your FSB is at 250 MHz, your RAM at stock is 1600 MHz, stock FSB is 200 MHz. 1600/200= 8 <- this is the default multiplier your RAM

 

ATM you can see the RAM is at 2000 MHz (250*8= 2000). Stock RAM frequency at 250 MHz FSB would require the multiplier to be: 1600/250 = 6,4. The closest multiplier (I think you've fixed multipliers) would be 6,666, leaving RAM at 1666,666 MHz =~1600 MHz

 

But as long as it's stable you don't have to bring this values to stock, to ensure this pass a 24 H test, but the main issue still open, the temperatures. You've to determine if the CPU isn't very hot

[harrynowl]

Holy shit. That voltage is too high.

1.45v lower it. i would never go past 1.3v

That's just asking to fry your CPU

That is really, really high.

1.325V max! Electronics are sensitive to higher voltage, especially CPUs. Most electronics don't use more than 5V.

Guys, 1.3V is very specific to Intel's 22nm Tri-Gate process. Older Intel processors and basically all AMD processes are quite happy well over 1.3V (heck; most ship around 1.35-1.4v), AMD actually validate FX9590s up to 1.55V.

 

AMD use 32nm SOI on FX CPUs. It eats volts and clocks high.

As i said before, temperature is not an issue, my room temp is around 13~16 celsius and i have a H110 AIO WC.

Thanks man so i dont need to be worry about the 1.48 peak vcore?

We're not talking about the room being at that temperature, it's just that at that OC it's very hard to believe that those readings are right even with that cooler. Not to mention that one of the sensors marked a minimum temperature of 6 ºC, which given your ambient temperature isn't possible

^ This... My Athlon ii x4 630 stock voltage is 1.4-1.425v... With my oc of 3.4GHz 24/7 it peaks at 1.48v and that's safe for it, hell a lot of people ran 1.5-1.55v through them all the time for 24/7 stable clocks... His voltage is perfectly fine.

AMDs sensors are always off, my x4 630 doesn't sit at 30C idle and 35C under load, it sits at 40C idle and 62C as peak under load... OP: Have you tried hwinfo for checking temps...? You want to find the socket temp on the motherboard seeing amds chips have the worst sensors.
