Hey guy's I would like to overclock my FX-8350 upto 5GHz, right now i'm at 4.5GHz with 1.425v running prie95 and would like to ask about my temps;
Speed fan says the cpu is at 64c
and coretemp says the core temperature is 35c
I am using a H110 in pull config but I also have a heater running in my room right now (it's winter here)
I know the difference between core temp and cpu temp and how AMD's FX chips temp algorithm isn't very accurate at times but i was wondering what your guys thoughts are on any of this? Feed back would be nice :)

I got my 8350 up to 12ghz and killed it after a prolonged time but it stayed stable for a few days I would warn you that the cpu temp is some times right other times way way wayyyy off what it should be mine was at 12ghz for a few days without issue and was able to keep the clock speed on all the cores but in the end it failed the core temp was 67c tops according to the cpu and I was finding it would freeze the system at extreme load's (maxing out the cpu rendering video at 12ghz on all 8 cores for example) I in the end found out (after the cpu died) that the temp was grossly incorrect and I had burned out 2 of the cores trusting amd's temp sensors. I had a mate do the same and he found with an almost identical setup but a more advance and larger water cooler the temp's are around 114c so what ever you do....INSTALL A 3RD PARTY TEMP MONTOR AND KEEP AN EYE ON IT AT ALL TIMES!!!!

12Ghz who are you trolling? my friend.

i am not trolling see my thread on it. I had an extremely large coustom case with a quad radiator setup for water cooling the cpu and I had a fridge unit stripped down to keep it as cold as possible now please remember it lasted less then 4 days at that level of over clock in a 2.2M tower case and I killed it so fast it was not funny I blame the worst possible form of cpu temp montor by no other then the famous AMD

I currenty have a stable oc of 5.5ghz at 103c load, 77c no load

with six 770's in sli so please remember I know my oc well

I have 4 770's in sli for video rendering and I have the other two as the screen connection point (1) and the testing render (2)

as you may think no system has 6 16x slots


they do -_- I run a server board (for those of you to stupid to find it - it was a beta model)

You're lying though your teeth, I know those boards are really but 6 way sli is not. also world records are done at -150c or colder using nitrogen or helium. You are talking about stuff you do not understand.

as I said 4 way sli


2 extra cards for other programs to run when not rendering

Motherboards with 6 x16 solts also don't run with x16 bandwidth so again, lies. SLI must have a min of x16 pcie (x8 gen3 and x4 gen3)

And unless you have some crazy engineering sample that was never put into the market those many PIC lanes do not exist on any CPU

And I hate to be a dick but to point out your lie even further you can't supply the power with 1 PSU and even with 2 you can't power the PCIE connectors on the motherboard its self

lukelaw, you are not going to take your answer from this guy. he has decided to not break character on this one. lol

if he insists he was tell the truth, ask him to take a photo of his rig and post it on this thread.

from what I know, Nvidia only support 4 way SLI on 780 ti and titan.

12ghz?

Well of course you have at least a CPU-Z validation right?

What Futuremark or Uningine scores did you get, of any benchmark?

Surely if you actually accomplished a 12ghz overclock for days as you say, you established some kind of verification?

For the record, if you reached the temperatures you or your friend claim to have reached 114c, you would have had absolute zero performance, because the internal CPU protection controls you cannot touch or manipulate, would have throttled you down to nothing! The only way around that is keeping it colder than the activation points and it's already activated before reaching 67c, much less 114c!

I also say your claims are false, and I would like to see some validations from you to back your claims, or else you are posting false information here at Toms, and sir, that is a bannable offense at Toms Hardware Forums!

That's a big difference in temperature readouts and first of all you need to discover which is right?

Maybe try using RealTemp and see what you get with it?

This is interesting temperature information from a fellow user acquired from AMD, check it out.

http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-1727374/official-8350-temps.html

You can reach 5ghz, as long as you can keep the CPU cool enough, but whether it can be done with an H110, IDK?

Once you get past a certain CPU temperature, the internal CPU throttling activates, it is most noticeable in benchmark performance results falloff.

Many wonder why their overclocked performance is worse than the stock performance and it is simply that the CPU is throttling to protect itself, and that's built into the CPU that you cannot control or manipulate.

It is like a governor on a school bus, as AMD and Intel both cannot warrant a CPU for 3 years without some kind of built in protection, the only way around that built in protection, is to keep the CPU cooler than the throttling activation points, and you probably cannot do that with just a 280 radiator.

This may help you in understanding various cooling capabilities.

Brycetimothydavis, your wild claims have been reported to the Moderation Team but I'm happy to let the more knowledgeable posters cut you to bits in the hope it prevents you posting rubbish like your first post here again.

If there is a next time I will simply delete it and give you a few days rest from the Forum.

12 IS A JOKE but 5 is very possible.
