Just updated comp. After 8 years..
MSI 990fxa gaming
AMD fx8320e
EVGA gtx950 ftw
G.skill Ripjaw DDR 3 ,1600 CL9 12gb
PSU- Cougar CX 700 80+ bronze
Looking to run this at 4ghz, what would a good, genetic starting point be for cpu-nb voltage, CPU voltage and any other thing I may have to adjust for 4 GHz???? Thanks in advance!

Are you talking overclocking ?
Set multiplier to 20 and raise voltage some if needed for stability. If you want it to run at 4GHz always, turn off turbo and power saving modes.

Already did that... multiplier to 20, had to " up" CPU voltage to 1.244 to get Windows to load, turned off quiet and cool and turbo boost....froze 15 minutes into game...noticed ram (timings) on three of the 4 sticks were 10 and 11, not 9.

Once you start OCing it stops being "e" and behaves like normal one so you'll probably need a Vid of 1.325v to stabilize.
I don't know about Gskill but Kingston for instance need 1.6 -1.65v to work properly at 1600MHz and lower Cl.

Vid?? Clocking up ram is easy enough, but altering the latency(?)back down to 9s I'm not sure of.

Vid, starting voltage for CPU.

So, the higher I can volt the DRAM, the lower my CL will change?( Obviously, I want the lowest voltage possible) Currently chip is at 1.344 and DRAM is 1.60 but still a bit high. But runs P95 with no core errors.
Any CPU- NB adjustments needed? I saw Tempin1 around 48c at idle before I started test..went to a high of 59c

Just upvolting RAM is not going to produce higher frequency or lower Cl by itself but may help you when you lower it to keep stable, that's all.
In any case, it's best to keep as low voltage as possible without compromising stability but may prove tricky and require a lot of fiddling and testing. Nobody can tell you what settings and results you'll get.

Well, it seems stable where I have it now, I'll keep an eye on temps... research a bit more.
Sitting at 4.0 GHz, 1.344 voltage and 1.60 on DRAM....thanks for the help!!
