FX-8350 Overclocking Issues

[DigitalDoofus]

So i've been recently trying to overclock my 8350 but i've been having this strange issue when the CPU (according to openhardwaremonitor) Reaches around 60 celsius usually around 55 to 56 the clock speed changes from something like 4.7 GHz to 2.8 And I don't know why its doing it if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance, LazyChaz

Sounds like you have turbo enabled in the BIOS (allows the CPU to adjust it's frequency). I would turn it off, but I could also be wrong 

Also what are your voltages?

are you reffering to the the core performance boost because that is what i see as a "turbo" feature

I don't know. Sounds about right

yeah thats been turned off but I now have a new problem in which openhardwaremonitor isnt even giving me temperatures

[DigitalDoofus]

as a quick update I managed to fix the temperature not displaying but the CPU is still underclocking when the temperature gets near 60 C and I still dont know why if anyone can offer some insight as to why it would be greatly appreciated 

 

Thanks in advance, LazyChaz

The AMD chips thermal throttle at 62C (package temp) AFAIK
 

What are the individual core temperatures?

Lol I don't allow mine to throttle. If he could disable throttling it should fix it

sorry for the really late reply I've been very busy anyway do either of you know what to disable in my BIOS to disable this feature?

Make sure you have both TurboCore and APM disabled in the bios.

I am in the process of moving right now so I din't quite remember, but I think it was turning off Turbo or something close to that. I know it was under the OC tab of my board (MSI board). Who makes your Motherboard?

mine is gigabyte although its not using a UEFI its a legacy BIOS based motherboard its also not exactly high end considering its only a SATA2 and Pcie generation 2

OK

sounds like the VRMs on the mobo has given way.

 

it not sustaining enough juice for the FX8350

 

you prob need to change the mobo to at least the AMD 970 chipset like the MSI 970 Gaming or the MSI 990FX
