Hi,
This is more of "is it possible" rather than "I need to do it" situation. Specs listed below:
PSU: Cooler Master V850
Mobo: ASRock 990FX Extreme 9
CPU: AMD FX-8320
Cooler: Phanteks PH-TC14PE
RAM: AMD Radeon R9 Gamer Series (2400MHz)
GPU: MSI GTX770 Lightning
Raising the multi to hit 5GHz@1.43V in the UEFI I can boot into Windows fine and dandy. However 3/4 of the way through the "Assessing processor" stage of the Windows Experience Index it froze causing me to reboot my PC. I would just like to point out I know he WEI is naff and I don't use it as a benchmarking software. I was only curious to see if the numbers would change.
During the WEI test the CPU reached as high as 70C before freezing. I've since then lowered the multi and Vcore to 4.7GHz@1.38V and I hit around 67C during the WEI and this time around it completed fine. I know and understand that doesn't mean it's stable, I need to properly test it to be sure. To me though it means it passed the "I'm not going to break at any given moment" test.
But my question being, how far away am I to being stable at 5GHz? I've searched around and found multiple threads on this matter which all state 5GHz on an 8320 is bonkers and highly unattainable, not to mention "should only be tried on extreme water cooling solutions". So I wouldn't be surprised at the responses I am going to get.
