I already have it OCed to 4.3Ghz from it's original 3.5Ghz but I want to give it an extra kick and push it to 4.5. I have custom air cooling (9 fans total), a 350 PSU which I will be upgrading to 550 soon 8gb ram, GT 630 which I also will be upgrading to GTX 950, GIGABYTE 990X-UD3 motherboard. Is it worth going for those extra 200 or should I just leave it as it is?

btw voltage is set to auto should I change that? It's been working fine for over a year on auto now.

It's dependent upon your chip and how it plays with your motherboard.

I've got an FX-6350 on a -UD3P at 1.375v -- 4.7GHz with a CM T4. The PWM on the -UD3P is similar to that on the -UD3.

BUT, all chips are different and may require less (or more volts).

I would start at your current clock and volts, take manual control, and drop the volts in -0.0125v increments until the AOD stability test fails. Then you may slowly start to work your way back up in +0.0125v increments while bumping the CPU multi.

Also --- verify that your backup BIOS is the same as your main BIOS (see the manual). For some odd reason if they are not the same this seems to dink your ability to OC to highest levels.

AND .... use the BIOS to 'save' different...

If I remember correctly I have disabled turbo. when I stress test it reaches 1.45 volts for 4.3Ghz on auto voltages. What do you think I should set my voltage to? I've seen people set it to 1.20 V at 4.3.

AND .... use the BIOS to 'save' different profiles. I believe with the -UD3 you should be able to save up to 8 different combinations.
