AMD FX OC'ers Club

[Random Murderer]

Hello, guys. surry for my poor english and low OC exp, but read my stroy? OK xD
Now my pc ruinnig the vishera cpu 8320 3.5 ghz over the Sabertooth R 2.0 990 motherboard.
First of all i took this tutorial

and put all settimg just the same as on video, so the system works stable at 4.5 ghz and 1.356 core voltage, I suppose cpu can be OCed even more, but it seems to run extremly hot: stress test shows 85 centigrades og cpu sensor, and than I stop it. I got simple Termaltake tower cooler with dual fans, idle temp is around 53, games running around 70 centigrades. Is it okay?
What, guys, shall i try with my system? what settings to change? I know, I need water cooling, but I have no such money at the moment xD

Those temps are extremely high. Your maximum operating temp should be around 55C, any higher and you should worry. This is not an Intel chip and is not designed to take those kind of temps. What software are you using to read temperature? Have you tried reseating the cooler and reapplying the thermal paste? How much thermal paste did you use? How is airflow inside the case?
You don't need water cooling, but a higher-end air cooler would certainly help.

PCI I gave up, instability generated at random ... Once I completed a one hour test with no problems, the next time after 5 minutes gave error ...

Sorry but I can't view that pic

Crosshair came monday, installed it, works beautifully. It's so pretty. Plus I can get a block for it if I ever want to. It has so many options for power that weren't in the fatal1ty. Like the Digi+ in the bios, can set overcurrent percentage for CPU and CPU/NB, Theres adjustmens for VRM frequency and response and power phase, all kinds of awesome stuff like that. And the LLC seems to bahave normally. I managed to get 5ghz resonably stable which was never possible before. Can't wait to get it in the cold, CPU isn't much stable once it gets in the 50's. I'm kindof in the process of moving now tho so I might not have a chance to do that for a while.

It does have a lot of lights doesn't it?? The bios is slightly more in depth than the Sabo but not a lot. Took me a bit to realize I had to set to Extreme OC to do anything over 1.6v otherwise it just wouldn't start.

Ty for reply, I use Asus Thermal radar - native motherboard utility and different stress test soft like OCCT.
I've installed cooler about a week ago using Arctic Cooling MX-2 (1/4 of 2gr tube)/ Dual fan both working same way.
What cooler do u recommend? Shoud I undo overclocking until I get high end cooling?

Spoiler

sorry 4 wrong rotation

 

[Johan45]

Yes I would back the OC dow until your max temp is 70 CPU or 62 on the core. As for the cooler that will depend on what can fit in your case and how high you would like to OC. What case are you using??

Not sure how accurate that Asus software is on AMD boards, but I can tell you it's not very accurate on the Intel boards I've used it on. Try HWMonitor or CoreTemp.
Also, I can't picture in my mind what .5g of thermal paste would look like quantitatively, but it sounds like a lot. The proper size of blob should be about a grain of rice or pea-sized, placed on the center of the processor, with even pressure placed on it by the heatsink.

MidiTower, ATX Termaltake http://www.ulmart.ru/goods/307984. I would like OC that high, untill CPU stat stable, I'm curious about is it realistic to achieve 5ghz, if cooler whould be perfect.
I put CPU onto 4.0 ghz and 1.28 v, and cooler in extreme profile (noisie like an airplane) , now in 100% overload CPU temp is not higher then 65

Oh, I'll try to take of some paste, hate to deal with cooler unit fastening, u have to have realy thin fingers or I dunno %%

I can't get your link to load, sorry. Could you just give me the model name of the case?
The odds of you getting 5.0 stable without a good custom water loop are pretty slim to be honest. You have a good Mobo so that's one down. With a good Air cooler/ AIO closed water cooler you'd be looking around 4.5~4.7 my opinion.
Yes re- applying the TIM isn't always fun but the more you do it the better you get. Ha ha ha

Thermaltake Commander Snow Edition MS-I, VN40006W2N
what u meen Mobo? xD
Yap, ive reinstalled cooler unit replacing fans in different direction (face to face) , reduced voltage to 1.24 (pretty low for 4.0 i suppose) and now running stable with 45 in idle, and not above 70 in 100% usage. Btw I'm curios about CPU-Z after OC showing native CPU clock 3.7 ghz not 3.5 as it is

That should help power flow, maybe that's why I'm always beating you.




Did you "go" somewhere. ?? You've been missing all the fun Durvelle. I just broke 5.8G on SuperPi 1M yesterday.

Well now, look who's being naughty in here.

Can't let you have all the fun can I?
Nope... Can't do that.

 

[giacomo160790]

Guys, I wanted to ask you, increase the frequency of nb and increasing the voltage of the cpu / nb helps stability for overclocking the cpu?

Ahhhh, I see you've caught on to my wiley ways!
I already knew Santa wasn't coming.

Guys, I wanted to ask you, increase the frequency of nb and increasing the voltage of the cpu / nb helps stability for overclocking the cpu?

Yes that's the one you want to bump up. But keeping it lower will help you get the clock up. Start with the CPU , do the NB later. It can throw you off trying to juggle both.

Kaboom

Kaboom

??? Did I miss something??

 

[Durvelle27]

??? Did I miss something??

Lol you didnt see that

 

[Johan45]

No haven't had power or internet for a while. Sis you take one of my scores or something??

 

[Durvelle27]

Nahh haven't benched in some time. Been hot lately around 71°F

No haven't had power or internet for a while. Sis you take one of my scores or something??

 

[Johan45]

So what did I miss ??

 

[Johan45]

I'm waiting on some ram to play with my self, well killing Zombies at the moment actually. Playing Nazi Zombie 2 got it from manofthem on this site. It's fun I tell ya!!

 

[Durvelle27]

Sounds like the old CoD

Never played any of the COD games TBH.

 

[Durvelle27]

Guys i'm redoing my whole loop and starting a new lol.

Ordered some


6 xPrimoFlex Pro LRT UV Blue Tubing -3/8in. ID X 1/2in. OD
- $1.60 Per foot

14x Black Compression fittings - $2.50 A Piece (to finally ditch these crappy ones i have)

Radiator mount - $3.99 to mount my 3rd externally

also will be getting some new fans

 

[Johan45]

Nice a little treat yourself at Christmas. I did the same, Asrock Z87 Killer and a 4770k @ 4.7 , wanted to see how the other half lives.

i did similar but went for mostly seconds to build the steam box listed in specs

 

[Johan45]

That looks like a pretty capable system and probably not too pricey. Nice build.
