Is This A Good Voltage For This CPU

Bonesbobman · Aug 10, 2014

Okay so I just overclocked my AMD FX 8320 from 3.5 GHz to 3.8 GHz and also increased my voltage to 1.275 volts. Is that going to keep my CPU stable? I have the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO cooler and Asus M5A97 LE R2.0 motherboard.

You're going to need to run different stress programs to check for stability. Every cpu is different in regards to voltage and stability.

How long should I run Prime95?

You shouldn't have to touch the vcore to get that high and higher of an OC. Just the multiplier alone should get you more than that. Save wear and tear and heat on the CPU if you don't need to. Use the multiplier and leave the vcore at stock until you have an unstable OC. Then tweak it a bit to make it stable again.

But what will happen if I increase more than needed? I don't think anything is going to happen because the CPU is only going to use so much volts anyway at 3.8 GHz. It won't just gobble up all volts available. Is this true?

Bonesbobman :

No. If you take it off auto and set the vcore too high, you will chance frying the CPU core(s).

some will say run Prime for 24 hours. If you run it for an hour with no errors, you should be good. You'll also want to pay attention in your day-to-day use of the system ie playing games or any intensive application.
