Help with Overclocking the AMD FX8350

[ProGearUk]

Hello I would like some help with overclocking the AMD FX 8350 processor.

My motherboard is the Asus Sabertooth 990FX R 2.0

Any advice is welcome and I will be getting a h100i soon so i will able to do reasonable overclocks

Here is a photo of my rig so you know what It is like for me

is there any other gudes you know of for overclocking these chips

i found one on the rog site which is on the crosshair formula. It would work for my board as well. Here it is guys if you need it and what is the highest voltage i should go and what is the highest temp that i should go to when i am overclocked. Will I be able to reeach 4.8ghz on a h100i under 70 degrees

What you need to do is bump the multiplier a bit to raise the core clock on the default voltage, do it in small increments and test with Prime95 or any other software you wish to use, raise the multiplier until the CPU becomes unstable, then bump the voltage a bit until it's stable, then bump the multiplier do this until you reach about 4.5 Ghz or 4.6Ghz after that you will need to use more advanced overclocking tactics to get higher clocks without overvolting too much, and those include the HT Link ,CPU NB & their respective voltage settings.

should i try and do it like the guys over at republic of gamers first and see where that leads me but maybe reduce the overclock and the voltage a bit so i get an overclock of something like 4.6 ghz ish.

I'm don't know what the guys over at republic of gamers are suggesting.

Go for the 4.6 first, that should be easy, then nudge it up little bits at a time

I have my 8350 at 4.7 with the voltage set to 1.45, thats as far as im going

my load temps are 60 degrees with a H100i (SP quiet fans)

just make sure the core temp doesn't go over 62 degrees

what do you have in terms of loadline calibration. Is it set to ultra high extreme or something like that.

i loaded the extreem oc profile and tweaked from that

but its on ultra high

on mine the voltage will actually jump up instead of droop

it gets up to 1.48 under load
