FX 8350 Ram Problem

[iLove]

I wanna ask because im new in overcloacking , i just oc'ed my cpu to 4.4 from 4.0 but it changes the ram settings that i cannot select my 1.6mhz and  have to instead go 1.7 and my pc wont run or 1.4 that my pc will run .

I could only start my PC when putting it in 1.4 so i wanted to ask.

If its possible to make them 1.6 somehow while keeping the OC on the cpu

or if its worth having 1.4 ram with and OC'ed cpu or vise versa

That means you touched the number that starts at 200MHz, right?

I dont think so , it just changed the optinos i had by like 100 each so basically the 1.6 changed to 1.7 and so on and going with 1.7 the pc just doesnt open so i have to select the 1.4 option

sorry im srsly new to this so idk anything

that's exactly what changing the north bridge frequency will do (as is, the number that starts at 200). Revert that change, since you should raise the multiplier instead.

welcome to the Linus Tech Tips forums!

 

you are using the strap method in OC. thus raising the bus speed. this affects the RAM and PCIe slots.

might try this method for 8350 OC. https://rog.asus.com/articles/hands-on/guide-overclocking-fx-8350-to-4-8ghz-on-crosshair-v-formula-z/

needs some awesome cooling tasks.

I only change this freq and it changes up the ram options , i tried to find anything with NB Freq but couldnt find this . Think im missing something obvious

don't touch this(for now)

 

change the cpu multipler. You should be able to change it to 22 on stock voltage just fine. Give it a stress test.

So i did it with the multiplier and i got the 1.6 mhz also the FSB:DRAM Changed from 3:10 i think to 1:4 i dont know if good or bad and i wasnt sure about the voltage.

The guy i saw made it 1.4++ for 4.8 so i went for a 4.6 with 1.4 hope will be fine i dont want to overkill .

So i guess ill try leaving it toPrime95.

Had it before for 15 minutes and i got max 51 C

those temps are often wrong, so check amd overdrive for thermal headroom

Those chips will suck up voltage, you will probably kill your board before you kill your chip.

 

How high can you get the multipler keeping it stable?

Also another question i have is , my friend has one 2x4 2.1 mhz and one 2x8 2.1Mhz .[hope i remember correctly]

He gave me the 2x4 2.1.

Thing is now i have 2x8 1.6mhz and 2x4 2.1 running them at 1.6mhz

Is it worth going only 8 gb ram and higher mhz or keeping all 24

Not sure really, didnt do prime for long enough yet so these are the first settings im trying instantly instead of doing little by little .

[Wont need this cpu/motherboard for more than 4 months since im going for ryzen later on]

Depends on what your doing, but I use lots of ram, so I always prefer more ram to faster ram.

What board do you have? If you have a lowered board(no vrm heatsinks are a good clue) I wouldn't touch voltage at all

Yeah , thats why i went for 24 instead of 8 but 2.1.

Only problem now for me is not sure about voltages

This is also something i realised just being on desktop opening chrome tabs ,discord , etc . Temps going this unstable
