So I, like everyone, want to maximize my cpu speed to its highest potential with lowest possible voltage and therefore lowest possible temperatures.

So, having said that, putting aside voltage adjustments. what settings, if any, can I adjust in my ASUS Crosshair V Formula-Z BIOS that will increase my AMD FX-8350 CPU overclock stability without increasing my temperatures?



system build info:
CPU: AMD FX-8350
MB: Crosshair V Formula-Z
PSU: OCZ HALE v2 1200 watt
RAM: 16 GB Corsair Dominator Platinum (2400Mhz)
GPU: XFX Radeon HD 6870 (2Gb)

What he means is that you have reached that point where you need to add ridiculous amounts of voltage in order to bump up that extra .1Ghz. At this point, it is not worth it because the extra heat would not be proportional to the performance that you are getting. If you have already passed 1.4V and you can't get stable past 4.7Ghz, i'm sorry to tell you but I think you have reached the limit of your card.

I have a custom water-cooled setup with a 480mm radatior on it. I'm cooling the cpu and the northbridge/mosfets chipsets.

As of now I'm at 4.7Ghz....I feel I could push it further but it becomes unstable in prime95 anymore than that. Cpu voltage is at 1.47v which is a pretty high on the 8350 but I can't seem to bump up my clock speed without really cranking up the Cpu voltage... drag.

Starting voltage for default BIOS setting OS 1.3volts-ish @ 4.0Ghz. I have had to increase it quite a lot.

My temps at 4.7Ghz @ 1.47volts gets to about 62℃ full load with an hour under Prime95.
(I understand that Prime95 isn't an accurate representation of day usage..so high temps on prime95 doesn't represent real real-life temps...etc)
