No the UD3 has issues with heat and thermal throttling, it also has a low thermal limit hard coded into it IIRC, you'll need to keep that board really cool in order to hit over 4.7ghz.

rip, bound to better than a 970 board though right?

 

oh and btw temps are so dope rn. 20 C in the bios, 28 C on the desktop @4.5Ghz ay

Sticking a 120mm fan behind the socket will drop those temps a bit more, it also depends on what temp readouts you're monitoring, if its package temp when not under constant load then disregard, it's not accurate unless under load. You should read the motherboard socket temp when the PC is at idle, when under load the package temps are accurate.

oh I meant CPU temps, not chipset

 

btw I don't even have an exhaust and the front fans aren't moving any air, I'm guessing that is no bueno?

meh, I'll try to get on that. I need to figure out a way to spray paint my beloved S12A-ULN's (used some spray paint I have for metal on one and it turned out pretty bad) need to get some spray paint for plastic

Automotive aerosol spray will do fine, light dusting coats, make sure you prep your surfaces for painting too.

Will do!  Got a messy 4.5 GHz atm just to do some loop testing, going to play some CS and see where the chipset temps go

Just make sure you've got airflow and keep the temps down.

It's only been 5 min of CS but it seems to have evened out at 40 C, 45 C, and 40C (on the chipsets)

 

Seems pretty decent thus far right?

Depends where you're reading the temps from. I use HWinfo 64 and use a graph like this.

ah, I'm using HWMonitor 

 

BTW holy jesus 1.57V

btw sorry for asking so much, but what folding did you use for the coil whine? F@H?

 

and also, on this board what would be the max voltage? 1.5?

I'm not mega familiar with the UD3 I just know its hard to OC on, and yes F@H to reduce the coil whine on my 970 for like 24hrs worked a treat.

Thanks! I'll run it and if not I can always return it for a new R9 Nano (probs will finally get banned by amazon but I can make a new account so w/e)

F@H was being dumb so I've been running valley at 4K for quite some time. Do you think it will produce similar results? (when the 24 hr is done)

One question, why did you decide to change from a i5 (or was it a i7) and 980 ti watercooled build to a 8350 and a nano watercooled build?

noise and thermals pretty much. My original 980Ti died, and then the second (a 980Ti Hybrid) was overheating with S12A-ULNs and had major pump whine.

 

Not to mention the i5-4590s was also overheating with S12A-ULNs, so I decided to just say screw it and watercool everything  To afford the stuff I had to downgrade on the GPU a tad but it's at 1010 without throttling now so it's VERY close to a stock Fury X Not to mention temps on the CPU and GPU when overclocked are under 50 C as well! (with the beloved S12A-ULN's of course)

Ah fair enough, well it's still quite a nice system you have but I just don't feel like going all the way down to a 8350 was actually required to watercool your computer (well maybe AMD will decide to launch zen chips for the am3+ as stated on an article I read)

meh, it was all just budgetting tbh. Was originally going for 2500K or something but I got an 8350 for super super cheap, and for 4K it wrecks

Fair enough  I would still love a 8350 even if it's worse than my 3570k

5 GHz boys! Did some testing and it is stable for now  The chipset temperatures are good all around but one if them is getting a little hot, and then dropping the core down. With an exhaust fan it should be good to go!

Damn, that's actually pretty good, although that voltage is a little high imo, what board do you have exactly? Because AFAIK, that voltage should pretty much kill most 970 chipset boards. I've used my 8350 with a 970 board (although a relatively decent one) and now got a 990FX one with better radiators and much, much more features and I'm pretty happy with the upgrade tbh.

What temps do ou get on average? Was the CPU-Z screenshot taken during stresstesting? Because voltage should increase then, and if it increased above the 1.536V mark then your board should pretty much RIP Run a stresstest for 5-10 minutes and touch your VRM rads with your finger, for a second though because I'm almost certain that it's going to nearly burn your finger off

Voltage doesn't increase, I make sure it's under 1.55V  It's a 990FXA-UD3, I had a 970 gaming but like you said didn't want to kill the little guy.

 

Temps were around 65 C I believe, but I think I need to remount my block a little bit. I will get back to you when I go back to 1.55V (waiting till my exhaust fan gets here because the VRM's are a little toasty without a fan back there)

[Octavialicious]

And here is why I went with the nano:

 

It is at 1050, the stock speed of the Fury X  A Fury Nano + block costed me $560, and it is $160 cheaper than fury x + block ($620 + 100)

Hmmmm. 1.55V is a lot too tbh Especially considering that 990FXA-UD3 is not a high-end board. Is it the regular 990FXA-UD3 or is it the 990FXA-UD3 R5? (The R5 has a heatpipe connecting northbridge radiator and the VRM radiator), it's also SLI certified
