aplasterz · Jul 15, 2014

hey, this is my start PC and working on building and so war this is what i got... I overclocked from 3.8 to 4.6 with a voltage of 1.45 highests temps i am seeing is 46 degrees can i overclock more or should i stay? motherboard gigabyte 990fxa ud3, H100i cooler. if i should overclock more what should i do?

you have great components and i guess you could stretch a bit more having such good temps. but i see 46c cores temp for only 5 minutes or so, of stress testing, right? does temps stay that low after an hour of stress testing? i wouldnt go beyond 1.5v and try keeping temps below 60c http://www.overclock.net/t/1140459/bulldozer-overclocking-guide-performance-scaling-charts-max-ocs-ln2-results-coming

Those temps seem a little too low for that speed and that high a voltage. Are you measuring them under a stress tester like OCCT, Intel Burn Test or Prime95? If not, you really should run one of those to make sure your overclock is stable and your temps are where they need to be.

after about stress testing for about an 2 hour nap i had max was 51 degress should i go 1.5v and do like 4.8-5Ghz?

What stress tester are you using? I recommend OCCT on High for AMD FX chips. Prime95 has been kinda finicky lately so I dont use it anymore. Intel Burn Test is a good one too but in my experience OCCT has been the more reliable tester for my rigs.

If youre passing stress tests at 4.6 then keep the voltage where it is and tick the clock up to 4.7. When you cant go any higher, tick the voltage up til either you hit the 62C red line or you exceed 1.5V which is the most Id want to put to a FX chip 24/7. 1.45V is actually a little high so once you find your chip's limit, you might want to try some undervolting. If you could get down to say 1.40V and 4.7 or so on the clock, that would save you a lot of heat being pumped out into your room and shave a few cents off your power bill as well as prolong your chip's life expectancy a little.

If I can hit almost 5.3GHz on air, I could only imagine what you can do with that H100. (see validation below).
