Good afternoon folks, i've recently switched out my case with awful cable management and blown all that dust away.
As of now i'm using a fractal design define R4 with my h80i with several fans mounted everywhere in the case and i must say, the cooling is awesome
.
To my point, i'm obviously going to take advantage of this cooling by overclocking my fx 8350. Regarding stability, i've heard that playing around with your northbridge and ram timings could help improve stability instead of touching the voltage to much.
Prime 95: fx 8350 - 4.4ghz 1.350 Vcore (Stock voltage)
Blend test fails within 5 minutes.
In-place large FFt's also fails within 5 minutes
But Small FFt's doesn't fail at all, i ran it for around 40 minutes and no games have crashed either.
So if i increase the voltage of my northbridge, can this help improve stability when it comes to blend tests that just eats your ram alive?
I'm looking for a really high overclock here. 5ghz+ with as low voltage as possible of course.
Any help folks?
Rig worth mentioning:
(CPU) FX-8350
(MB) GA-990FXA-UD3
(RAM) Corsiar vengeance 1600mhz 9-9-9-24
