I have been using an FX-8320 @4.0 now for some time without a voltage increase. And today I've decided to try to go for 4.1ghz just to squeeze some more performance out of this CPU. WIthout increasing the Vcore Prime95 runs for about 1 hour 30 mins until the 8th core fails with "Final Result was: (********) Expected: (********). Thats when I decided to INCREASE the Vcore in offset mode by +0.006. After doing so I ran another stress test (small ffts) but it failed on core 7 and 8 within 1-3 minutes with a rounding error. Does the CPU-NB voltage matter in this case, like do I need to increase that to make a more stable overclock? or whats going on here. stock Vcore is around 1.3v - 1.4v
my temps are fine too at 4.1 core 40-45c socket 60c
C1E - disabled
hpc - disabled
apm master mode - disabled
coolnquiet - disabled
svm - disabled
core c6 state - disabled
load line calibration - disabled
Basically my question is increasing the Vcore just makes it more unstable, is there something I'm doing wrong or did I lose the lottery?
