Hi,
I recently started overclocking my AMD fx-8350 (with heatsink cooler master hyper 212 evo). Under full 100% load stress testing using prime95, I was able to overclock it to 4.3Ghz and maintain a constant temperature of 65C, nothing higher, sometimes dipping down to 64C.
Note: I did not change the multiplier and left it at a default 20.0, and changed the bus speed to 215Mhz.
This is actually a follow-up question to my previous post: http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-3232338/gtx-1070-preforming-forza-horizon.html
My question is, because the games I play never use 100% utilization (on average, 50%) of my cpu, would it be wise to crank up the Ghz to 4.5 or 4.6? In cases where It does use 100% of my cpu, it never lasts more than a second and the temperature would only rise during then, then fall back.
Thanks.
