Hello!
So i've bought a FX 8350 with the Wraith Cooler (the one i currently use) and i've wanted to give it a shot and overclock the CPU, i tried from 4.0 stock to 4.3 from the bios using the multiplier to (21.5) and i've noticed a huge difference in games. I got like somewhere between 20 to 35 fps boost and no more drops to 30 in any of them.
Now my question, is it ok to leave it like that, i left everything to auto (what was default ) so the cpu can go to 1 point something when it's idle and not stay permanently at 4.3 . Another thing is the voltage, i really don't want to mess with it and i left that too at auto/default, i mean i didn't change anything ( on hw monitor it says it can go max to 1.368, same when i bought the CPU)
So, is it ok? Can there be any damage or can i leave it like that withouth changing the voltage, my temps are the same with or withouth the overclock (30 in idle and 56-59 in use) and i've never had a problem like shutting down, restarting or things like that.
And one more thing, i don't know if that's a huge overclock or a medium/low but it gives me a really nice boost but i don't want to ruin something.
Edit: forgot to ask one more thing, can i leave the clock permenently like that when i know i won't be playing demanding games or do browsing stuff instead of load default settings and then overclock again, or is it a bad idea?
Thank you in advance!
