Posted February 22, 2016 So i have an AMD FX 8320 with a Hyper 212 Evo installed. Would 4.5GHz be safe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMD Ryzen R7 1700 (3.8ghz) w/ NH-D14, EVGA RTX 2080 XC (stock), 4*4GB DDR4 3000MT/s RAM, Gigabyte AB350-Gaming-3 MB, CX750M PSU, 1.5TB SDD + 7TB HDD, Phanteks enthoo pro case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only info you can really take from other peoples is a rough estimate of how far you can push your chip. Since most people OC to above 4ghz, you know that you can at least start at 4ghz.

Posted February 22, 2016 I would strongly advise against overclocking your CPU with a Hyper 212 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted February 22, 2016 1 minute ago, DJ25380 said: Why you're the first The 212 evo is meant to out perform stock coolers. It was designed for CPUs that ship with out a stock cooler. It is in no way meant to handle the extra burden overclocking has on the CPU. You will hit a point where your cpu is constantly near or just over max temps and it will kill your cpu's life span.

The 212 is more than capable of handling a 8xxx at 4.5 and ~1.45v Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted February 23, 2016 Turn HT and CPU-NB to x12 Upclock the CPU frequency to 4.5 increase voltage to 1.42 See if it is stable, increase voltage if it's not, increase clock if it is. If it's nearly stable you can often times use CPU-NB/NB voltage to gain stability. IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
