amd fx 8350 overclock

[garry dhaliwal]

what is the maximum oc ghz on air cooling for fx 8350 ?

[NelizMastr]

0MHz. Don't bother.

It depends on the air cooler and the motherboard i think. Also, perhaps your PSU...

Why shouldn’t he bother?

dont bother ocing for free performance on an architechture that needs it? okay dude lul

its not easy to say, we can advise safe voltages for you but you just need to increse the multiplier until it crashes

[garry dhaliwal]

its stable at 4.2ghz as for now.

bottleneck of cpu is there with gtx 1060 6gb

only 30 percent usage

air cooler is cooler master hyper evo x v2 

psu is corsair cx750 

[garry dhaliwal]

when is the need to increase default voltage ?

Because the performance gain vs. the extra heat and power consumption isn't ultimately worth it.

Free? A FX 125W chip with an OC is hardly free on the power bill

Right, non-troll answer:

 

It depends on your motherboard as well. If you have a board with weak VRMs there might not be any potential at all since the VRMs will throttle the CPU when they get too hot. A top down cooler configuration like the AMD stock cooler will partially remedy this. If VRMs are decently cooled and of decent quality, perhaps 4.5 is doable.

msi 970 gaming pro is the motherboard

From a VRM point of view, should be good without extra airflow. You'll probably need a more powerful cooler to keep it at good temps. These chips are designed to operate below 65C at all times. 70+ is overheating and will cause throttling.

 

Something like a Cryorig H5, Scythe Mugen 5, Deepcool Gammaxx 400 etc. will do better than the evo. On the cheap, you could consider adding a 2nd fan.

[garry dhaliwal]

2 fans push pull config. on hyper evo fans are from Scythe running at 800 rpm maintaining (30-40) +10 degree room temp . room temp remains around 25 degree.

On air I was able to get a good stable overclock at 4.5ghz on my 8350. Once I changed over to the DeepCool Captain AIO I was able to get 4.7 and stay well under 65c during stress tests. Depending on your chip you will probably see similar results. At 4.7ghz I have the voltage at 1.43 as well as increased LLC. There are some good YouTube videos on the process of overclocking the FX series chips. I'd search there for a detailed guide. Good Luck.
