I admire your attention to detail and dedication in this project. Can't wait for the final result! 10/10

I got 1.51 Vcore and 1.64 (NOT SURE!) VDIMM - I don't remember what. The overclock is easy :) , you just need a big f**king cpu cooler, good PSU and vrm cooling. RAM is a little harder to overclock - lookup a tutorial. The setup is quite old, just use google, you will find tons of articles...

Bro you have a nice setup, that is not wasted money, just learn to overclock :) It's fun, it's pretty hard to break something, don't worry. Lookup a tutorial or something. :)

------FIXED IT------ - took the cpu cooler off - took the motherboard off the case - cleaned the DIMM sockets with alcohol - reseated the cpu(didnt work) - reseated the cpu and changed the DIMM slot (didnt work) - cleaned the cpu pins with alcohol and a brush - cleaned the cpu socket with an...

- Every overclock I do, I test with hours on Prime95 or the AIDA Stresstest. All 8 cores of course. Even on stock clocks, these mosfets get pretty hot. That was the main reason I placed a thermal probe with an alarm between one of them and the heatsink. You know this gets even worse, when you...

Guys. Please. Read. A 8350 overclocked to 5 Ghz > 9590 because the 9590 uses turbo boost to go up to 5ghz and the turbo boost affects only some cores, not all. 101% my TDP is greater than a 9590's because the voltage(and therefore current draw and therefore power) exponentially increase when you...

My cpu power draw is between 220 and 250W on full load, according to the power socked draw I measured. Thanks for the time and effort guys, Saturday or tonight i will try a re-seat or something. I appreciate every bit of help you guys gave me, even the guys that didn't bother to read. I'm at...

I don't think so. I have installed thermal probes on the VRMs and chipset. Both have never gone above 60 degrees C. My CPU is cooled by an alphacool nex*something block with microchannels and liquid metal, lianli DC pump, 3x120 and 2x120 rads. As I said it has been running on this overclock for...

@Ace_Jambo Finally :) Thanks.

Thanks for the tips, tabascosauz, I appreciate your help and I totally agree. No. I'm reffering to the 24pin and 8pin motherboard connectors - usually this is a stupid idea , but just in case. My plan is to find a cheap CPU just like you said and test the system. If it fails - throw the mobo...

Read my post again. I can't even post, because my motherboard doesn't see my RAM. It's like you don't have any sticks plugged in. I know that the AM3 female socket on the mobo doesn't have pins, i was talking about the power pins, etc, on the motherboard. Yes it has a MemOk button, but whats...

Hey guys. I couldn't troubleshoot this myself so I'm calling out here for help. The hardware: Processor: AMD FX-8350 @ 5 Ghz Motherboard: M5A99X EVO R2.0 Cooling: Alphacool Block + Custom Loop Memory: 2x8gb HyperX FURY 1600 @ 2300 Mhz Video Card(s): Sapphire 7970 Case: Thermaltake Mozart...

Ok. So, the thing is AMD FX Series have weird ways to measure temperature. DON'T trust anything except AMD Overdrive. http://indo-review.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/overdrive-idle.jpg Use only this. Trust me. And cool your VRM's and chipset with something - if you go over 4,7Ghz you get...

It's easy. I would go for the Lenovo if I don't game. The processor is newer, but keep in mind that sliiiightly slower in my opinion. On the other hand, the i5-5200u is 14nm I think, so 2x less the consumption. I would go for the Lenovo. The heat output of the I5, ram and 840M on the first...
