AMD FX 8320 overclock

[corymartin66]

how far can this cup be pushed? right now i have a 4ghz oc stable and i have a cool master hyper 212 evo cooler

You should really be asking yourself that question..How far can you push that chip? Before you hit a thermal wall (most likely thing to hold you back).

 

[corymartin66]

4.1 it blue screens on me and I know people have hit a 4.5 oc

 

[mlcaouette]

Well maybe it needs more voltage, maybe you need to tweak something else.

I never settle till I've reached that max that my cooling equipment can handle. But how far you push your chip is totally up to you.

Until you post up all the settings you are using for that overclock I cannot really help you much.

I have my 8320 @ 4.7, Volts @ 1.48 running stable max temp 52c with an evo 212 cooler.

on what motherboard?

 

[I Am JNASH]

mobo ga 970a ud3

Sorry my voltage on cpu is actually 1.45

 

[corymartin66]

with push-pull?

 

[I Am JNASH]

Nope just push the pull fan is attached to the back of my case

My 8320 is running at 4.5 with absolutely no issue. I have pushed it to 4.8 but that's where it blue screens. Not due to temperature, however. I am cooling with a Corsair H100i and the temps never go above 40 degrees. It sits on a FX990 Sabertooth R2.

FX8350\5.1 ghz.\1.384 volts

Which motherboard SR-71 Blackbird?
What's the cheapest mobo I can achieve that kind of high level overclock on? Or is it simply that a board can either oc or cannot, no differing levels of oc?

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

You need a good board and great cooling and win the lottery with a good chip.

Gotchya, thanks for the response bro. BTW, I saw all your awards and must say it's a privilege to have you answer my question. Thanks for being such a big part of our community.

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

No problem , always glad to assist.!!!!!!!

What sort of cooling. Custom loop?

I been reading so many blogs about overclocking FX-8*** CPU and they all full of B.S. I don't get why there soooooooooooo many people in here talking nonsense like O.. I got 4.5ghz on 1.37v or 5ghz on 1.384v seriously, like seriously, are you forreal you sound like big fat B.S.
AMD FX-8350 turbo boost default volt:
#1: 4200 MHz, 1.425V
#2: 4100 MHz, 1.4V
#1: 3400 MHz, 1.225V
#2: 2800 MHz, 1.125V
#3: 2100 MHz, 1V
#4: 1400 MHz, 0.875V
So tell me how the hell there so many B.S. people giving fault answer to people who wanna overclock. Like seriously!

boo. i successfully overclocked mine to 4.2 at 1.4 volts.. Each chip is different, so idk whats the problem here. Its not like you need that power anyway honestly... 4.2ghz 8 core is insane to me lol.. i hit 118 fps in guildwars2 on high settings, but the human eye cant see past 46 frames. So its honestly pointless to overclock unless you just want a high benchmark number, or you are producing. Games are fine at factory setting.

I have no issue just wanna point out that using high volts on a FX-8*** is totally fine. One last word AMD have hand picked the new FX-9590 cpu which is base on the same Microarchitecture Piledriver FX-8*** they claim quality at its finest and is still rated at 1.5v 5Ghz.

what could i accoplish with fx 8320 on asrock 990fx extreme3 ?

you will feel the difference in the mouse though

Cant say i have seen anything about my mouse speed after 1 month of play on it. I underclocked it back to factory, because of an annoying coil whine. My FPS is capped at 90 now though because i dont need that extra fps.. Was just for kicks

 

[chargeit]

Where do people get this human eye can't see past so much fps bs. The human eye can detect much more than that. It's called smoothness, the more FPS, the smoother the game play will feel.

Oh, this is where it comes from... " Thomas Edison said that 46 frames per second was the minimum: "anything less will strain the eye.". They were trying to figure out what it would take to give the perception of fluid motion, and not make a person sick.

Also, you need to look into motion blur. There's a reason films and tv look so fluid at low FPS, where in a game with much higher FPS looks choppy, it's called motion blur.

Basically, when you see something, it burns its self into your eye for fractions of a second, when there's no blurring of the frames that burnt in image makes the switch between images look choppy. With proper, or natural motion blur, there's not such a high distinction between the two frames, blurring them together, therefor making them appear smoother.

I got:

FX- 8320
Asrock 970 Extreme4
1.425 bios setting cpuz shows : 1.424
4.00 Gighz.

Hyperbus speed 2000 mhz (Std 2400 , gonna up this asap. Didnt see this went down. But am already stressing )
Northbridge 2200 mhz

Max temp: 54-58.
But its throsttling now and then for a second. Sometimes multiplier goes to 7 in stead of 20 for like a second or 2.

ALL power saving or throttlijg options are disabled!

Maybe not enough volts. ?
When stressing cpu core goes down to like 1.38.

Please post me your stats when enabled great overclock.
