Overclocking

[jmbrock1985]

I want to overclock my processor but I do not know how far i can go. I am looking for help from someone who is familiar with this setup.

 

 

• CPU
  AMD Black Edition FX‑8350 4 GHz
• Motherboard
  ASUS CROSSHAIR V FORMULA-Z
• RAM
  Patriot 16 GB 1866MHz
• GPU
  ASUS HD7850-DC2-2GD5-V2
• Storage
  180 GB intel SSD, & 3 1TB Seagate, & 1 3TB Seagate
• PSU
  CORSAIR AX1200i
• Cooling
  CORSAIR H100i Extreme Performance
• Operating System
  Windows 10

I think the 8520 should get somewhere north of 4.9Ghz. Not sure about the GPU though.

did you buy this pc? because i feel sorry, everything in this build is very expensive and good but the most important parts, the cpu and gpu are kind of shit compared to the other components.

and you can take this pc as far as you want to, for a 24/7 overclock i would target a max of 75C

Uhhh.. Damn. Nice mobo.

 

You could get a solid 4.7-5.0Ghz on the CPU if you do it right and have a good chip (mine maxed out at 4.7) and I dunno about the GPU.

In BIOS

 

For CPU

Enable: APM, Core C6, SVM, C&Q - it will be cooler
Disenable: C1E Support

 

Start from 1.45V@4.5GHz on CPU

 

On water you should get to 4.7 without problems @1.46+, to get stable 4.8 you probably will need more than 1.47V. If you are lucky you will hit 5Ghz@1.5V+. But it all depends on the chip you have.

 

if you have 4 mem sticks they will work at 1600, so you can set default CL -1 at 1600

 

for HD7850 i guess you may hit 1Ghz but it may depends on your PC case and air flow. I don't thing OC on DDR5 will change much.

The CPU is pretty good...it competes with the 5960X according to TechnologyX: http://www.technologyx.com/featured/amd-vs-intel-our-8-core-cpu-gaming-performance-showdown/

16GB: make sure its 2 x 8GB sticks

Change the GPU to the R9 290 or the 390 or something

Otherwise the build is pretty good

the FX-8350 can do alot of things, but it can't compete with the 5960X.. in any benchmark that is fair, because you won't buy a 5960X if you are not video editing or doing really intensive cpu stuff (here the 5960X will destroy the 8350) and when you are buying 3 way 980 Ti's the 5960X will also win..

I built this pc some 3-4 years ago and i was looking at just O.C. the CPU.

This shows you the comparison...yeah...

only if you are really dumb you buy a 5960X with 2 970s... otherwise you just buy an i7-6700k or i5-6600k

and that comparison isn't even remotely pushing the 5960X
