Quick FX-8350 OCing question.

[Altecice]

Right well as I have found out there is no definitive MAX "safe" Vcore for the FX-8350.

 

Currently I have my 8350 @ 4.8Ghz (1.464v) and I was really going to try pushing for 5Ghz but I have a feeling I am going to have to push past 1.5V for this and I  would like to know what people thought about this idea. Before you ask My full PC specs are in my profile.

 

I just happened to notice that the new 9370,9590's are the exact same chips as the FX-8350 and I mean the exact same. only they have been binned higher and factory OC'd and they run at a factory set Voltage: 1.4125v - 1.6500v soooo it would be safe to assume if AMD sell them at 1.65V the max safe voltage would be around there for the FX-8350 right?

 

so in theory its safe to play around up to 1.65V's I have to mention that I am no OC newbie

Yes, but  I wouldn't recommend it 24/7

but those chips are the very best, the inner wafer , they are tested and confirmed that they can run at those voltages, but dont have any experience

I would keep it under 1.45v for 24/7 (where you are) but, as long as temperatures are ok, running up to 1.6v once in a while shouldn't be too big of a deal. 

 

Some people are ok running at 1.6v or 1.55v 24/7 if you have good enough temps, but I still wouldn't stay that high for too long.

I never run my rig 24/7 I use it during the day and at weekends but its off at night. so if I needed to lets say.............. go to 1.55v for 5ghz (doubt this) it would be safe. By safe I don't really mind the whole "ohh your chip will only last 3 years" I couldn't care about that.

 

and yeah I am currently running a triple rad with sp120's + EK DC 12V and my temps are more than acceptable now.

lifetime of chips and them dying early is mostly BS, i mean after max 4 year you will NEED a new cpu, so it doesnt matter if its broken or not.... but yes, if you have adequete cooling and dont run it 24/7, i would go for it!

I don't mean 24/7 literally, I mean constant clock. You might need more than 1.55v for 5ghz. It should last at least 3 years I suppose, but neither me nor most people can really comment on how these chips degrade since they're not that old, obviously. 1.55v should be fine as long as your temps are (i assume they are) good.

As long as your temperatures are good i think it's okay, but i really wouldn't go over 1.55.

I wouldn't recommend it the 9 series are pretty much straight center on the silicon disk

If i needed to go from 1.45 to 1.55 for a 200mhz jump I wouldn't keep it anyway, its not worth it but thanks for the input
