I am having an amd fx 6100 oc'ed to 4ghz with a cm hyper 212 evo and while playing battlefield 3 with sapphire vaporx 7950 boost oc'ed to 1.1ghz and 1450mhz memory on max settings i am getting 62c max cpu temperature and 42c max temperature on the gpu. Are the temapratures ok or should i get back to the stock settings.
I am using a cm 413 elite plus cabinet with 5 fans.

One more Q
When ever i clock my cpu above then 4Ghz it crashes if i open any heavy application(games,prime95)
Why this happens??
and i am running my 8gigs kingston hyper-x blu 1600mhz ram at 860mhz with 9-9-9-27-36 latency timmings are these settings good.

It really depends on the blue screen that you get. Normally it will happen because you haven't placed enough volts into your CPU. So when you overclock you need to add additional volts. One of the common blue screens you'll get will give you a code that with end up with 0x00000124 in it. Yea your memory is fine. The codes may vary for you but that is what I'm going to guess. I'll list some BSOD codes from a forum site I visit for overclocking.

BSOD Codes for LGA 1155 Sandy Bridge
0x124 = add/remove vcore or QPI/VTT voltage (usually Vcore, once it was QPI/VTT)
0x101 = add more vcore
0x50 = RAM timings/Frequency add DDR3 voltage or add QPI/VTT
0x1E = add more vcore
0x3B = add more vcore
0xD1 = add QPI/VTT voltage
0x9C = QPI/VTT most likely, but increasing vcore has helped in some instances
0X109 = add DDR3 voltage
0x0A = add QPI/VTT voltage
0x1A = Memory management error. It usually means a bad stick of Ram. Test with Memtest, try raising your Ram voltage, or south bridge ICH voltage.
0x19 = memory voltage


BSOD Codes for LGA 1155 Ivy Bridge
0x101 = increase vcore
0x124 = increase/decrease vcore or QPI/VTT... have to test to see which one it is
0x0A = unstable RAM/IMC, increase QPI first, if that doesn't work increase vcore
0x1E = increase vcore
0x3B = increase vcore
0x3D = increase vcore
0xD1 = QPI/VTT, increase/decrease as necessary, can also be unstable Ram, raise Ram voltage
0x9C = QPI/VTT most likely, but increasing vcore has helped in some instances
0x50 = RAM timings/Frequency or uncore multi unstable, increase RAM voltage or adjust QPI/VTT, or lower uncore if you're higher than 2x
0x109 = Not enough or too Much memory voltage
0x116 = Low IOH (NB) voltage, GPU issue (most common when running multi-GPU/overclocking GPU)
0x7E = Corrupted OS file, possibly from overclocking. Run sfc /scannow and chkdsk /r

Yea see here is the thing. You need to play with them. If you can get through 30 minutes-60 minutes of prime95 you'll have a stable overclock if you start it and it blue screens and resets your computer that means that you don't have a stable overclock. You have good temperatures so that isn't a prime concern. Those voltages seem very high at least from a intel standpoint. I found a guide that will help you.

Also I forgot to ask what power supply are you using?

Okay so we know that at default you were able to run stable at least we know that its not anything wrong with your computer. Now in terms of overclocking I would take incremental steps and use that bulldozer guide chances are you had unstable voltages at your overclock.

Hardly. All that means is that you aren't teetering on the edge of a cliff.



Slight fluctuations in the load will cause both the clock speed and the voltage to fluctuate accordingly as the CPU goes in and out of different "sleep" states.

I think its very hard to say that hardly is exactly 100% accurate. No one is going to be running at 100 percent cpu usage and 90% plus memory usage. That will drive up your temperatures. I feel its a very accurate way of going at it however yea you could do a 24 hour prime95 test. However those tests are mighty brutal.

And you normally turn off those settings if I'm not mistaken isn't that the point of overclocking to get more of a stable voltage sure it may bounce around within a region of voltages however I can't see it going overly crazy. However, this being said I don't have any experience with AMD overclocking just with my 2500k which to my knowledge isn't the same by any means.

They are brutal for a reason. The point of stress testing is not just making sure that your computer won't fall over itself. That's not even a serious problem, because you know when it happens and you can make adjustments to correct it. Those longer stress tests are done to ensure that your CPU is able to reliably perform every operation that it is tasked with. They don't just run random loads (usually), they run a mathematical calculation and then check that the result is what was expected. If the CPU makes infrequent mathematical errors you can never be sure what the consequences will be. You are unlikely to notice a small error in some physics calculations in your favourite game. But what if you end up with small amounts of data corruption when working with important files? This is a far, far more serious problem than a random BSOD.

The same thing goes for memtest86+. Data corruption in memory is just as problematic as CPU math errors.

All hardware will produce errors eventually (that's why we have backups). The question is whether you consider there to be any practical difference between one error every 10 years and one error every 8 hours. Stability is arbitrary - it's up to the individual to decide what is acceptable, but to do so they should at least be aware of all possible consequences, and not just the obvious ones.



If the CPU can't maintain stability with its voltages fluctuating in a normal manner then is it really stable? Keeping a constant voltage is more important if you're pushing things to the edge to break records, and stability isn't a goal.

Well I just mean stability in the sense that you aren't getting blue screens. IF you run a stress test and bam almost automatically you get a blue screen then your overclock isn't per say stable.

Also by your feelings on stress testing how long would you personally run a test if it were you. I've ran tests for 30-60 minutes and done okay. I did Intel Burn test at maximum which is CRAZY on your system and came out okay.

I guess in terms of storage good thing there are NAS drives that go out to fix errors as they come along.

I am not overly picky about stability. My current i7 920 is running stock speeds and undervolted rather than overclocked, which required stress testing as well (for much the same reasons). I don't recall how long I stress tested it for, but it was a few hours. It's been running like this for a couple of years, but I wouldn't claim that it hasn't caused errors in its time. I just don't know of any.

Naturally, I don't recommend anyone follow my example unless they are aware of the possible consequences. Do as I say and not as I do. :)



They will fix errors if the data on the disks becomes corrupted, but they won't fix corruption caused by CPU or memory errors. After all, how is the NAS to know whether the data it has been sent is right or wrong? It only knows if it has changed between then and when it is read back from disk.
