End of May. Not saying I am counting the days down, but I am counting the days down.

Did 7.6 Years myself, was fed up

cdawall · Mar 25, 2015

That's how I am right now. Supervision has changed and my squadron deployed without me (since I was getting out before they would be back) so now I am stuck with the side I strongly dislike.

Johan45 · Mar 25, 2015

Good luck on the outside CD, hope it all works out for you, finding a job etc...

cdawall · Mar 26, 2015

I have one waiting for me that makes 2-3x as much as my current situation.

Nice, just think of all the new toys you can get. Muahhahaha

cdawall · Mar 26, 2015

Yea my rig is starting to look a bit dated.

Took the FX 6350 out for a stroll on the weekend.

Here's something to move the thread again.
I picked up a new FX9370 in an odd trade. A fellas sister had gotten an FX9370 and some crappy board in a combo and the board blew up. He traded his sister something for the 9370 but it wouldn't work in his board so I swapped my low volt 8320 for it. Turned out the board had killed the CPU so I RMA'd it and got one of the "new" batch from 1429.
So far it's quite impressive. 5.1G at 1.46v on a CHVF using my chilled water loop.

Thanks guys, just thought I'd post something to see if anyone still visits.

Impressive indeed.
You get that under some LN2 yet?

Johan45 · Apr 24, 2015

Not yet but possibly in a couple weeks. Our bench team is having a small get together.

Johan45 · Apr 27, 2015

Just some more eye candy.
Also have a BIOS for the CHVF that allows you to control the cores separately. This is 1 cor per module http://valid.canardpc.com/zkxhyf

Johan45 · Apr 28, 2015

OK one more, last night I tried running just core 1 and core 5. Using PSCHeck I managed to pull off a higher clock than I ever have before on my cold water even when it was -30 outside compared to -15 for this one. http://valid.canardpc.com/f7wtgg

Athlonite · Apr 28, 2015

probably to do with the heat from core 1 (module 1) not bleeding into core 5 (module 3) as badly as just using core 0/1 module 1, if you used core 7 on module 4 you could probably squeeze a few more MHz out of it

I still need to do some testing to see which core is stronger. I think that also not having to share resources helps a bit. One core gets it all to itself.

We wait with baited breath :toast:

(but if it blows up don't blame me)

Johan45 · Apr 29, 2015

I'm off to Pennsylvania for the 15th of May. That's when I'll find out. We're gettin 400+ liters of LN2. I have this one and an 8350 that I might try as well. I really want that 8G validation. I know things can blow up. I've put over 2v into an FX6350 and it still lives. So far I've been lucky Ha ha

Hello !

I need some help guys. I just want to obtain a mild 4.5 GHz on the AMD FX 8300 - Vishera. I cant seem to find anything stable above 4 GHz. I've disabled all power management (apm,coolnquiet,c1e,c6 state, etc in bios) and turbo core is disabled also.

I've upped the voltage to 1.4 and its hovering around 1.39 (not under load). I dont know what I'm doing wrong ... I've set +0.2 for CPU voltage and +0.1 for NB voltage and I also have LLC and I've set it to AUTO then EXTREME then REGULAR. Nothing seems to help.

See my attached pictures of my CPU/motherboard. Any help would be appeciated !

LE: I upped the voltage in BIOS at +0.3V and now I have 1.404 V in CPU-Z but still the same issues.

Please also tell me what is the best way to monitor core temp ? since I've heard about socket temp / termistor / etc

Which is the one I need to monitor ? I'v read on amd website forum that 61 degrees C is the max for this CPU.

Johan45 · May 10, 2015

I see the issue already it's your motherboard. I don't mean to rain on your parade but you just don't have the power section to push and 8 core FX. Your motherboard only has a 4 phase power delivery. Luckily it has a heatsink. I really wouldn't push it too much. What cooler do you have for the CPU

You beat me to it 970 chipset + crap VRM = not a good option for OCing anything with more than 4 cores

I only want to achieve a small OC maybe 4.3-4.5 GHz stable.

My CPU cooler is very similar or exactlly: Schythe Mugen rev.2 B

http://www.quietpc.com/mugen2

I havent seen temps above 54 C on the 8300 @ 1,4V and 4-4,2 GHz

bernekus · May 10, 2015

I have a watercooling kit from Thermaltake its quite old and the brushes from the pump motor are abit worn out and it doesn't start every time ... I can consider replacing them or the pump but you guys told me that the main issue for me is not temperature ... Its power from only 4 phase. I cant change the motherboard so I have to figure out a way to make my small OC stable.

I also have an Antec case that is fitted with 3 additional fans that help air circulation and cooling.

ThE_MaD_ShOt · May 10, 2015

What you are being told is that your mobo is not good for ocing that Fx8. You push it to much and you will be replacing the mobo whether you want to or not as you are going to fry it. That 4 phase power design of that board is not overclocking friendly. If you want to overclock get a good board with a 8 phase power grid.

I'd say your CPU at stock would need 95W of power ... divided by 4 that's about 24 Watts per phase, divided by 1.3 to 1.4V that's current of 17 to 18 Amps through each phase ... low rds-on mosfets (most gigabyte low-mid range boards these days) are usually rated at 20 AMPs max at 85C so you are pretty close to maxing your board at stock frequencies. If they get hotter, then max current is even lower. For example, at 25C their rating goes up to 40 Amps but they never operate at these temps. More voltage means more heat and lesser max current due to heat (also very much the same with frequency increase).
So, you could try to actively cool the VRM area (extra fan) to get a very minor OC, but even then stability of the system would change as the weather changes, and you would be killing your board slowly but surely.
I also have a 4 phase gigabyte board and I have my 70W ivy bridge OCed only to 4 GHz while undervolting it.

suraswami · May 10, 2015

Sometimes you might not need more voltage for these chips. So clear bios, reset everything, just up the multi to 20, turn off turbo and see if its stable. Then get it to 21 and see if its stable.

If the board allows to lower voltage, try that, atleast the chip and board will run cooler.

my guess is 4.2 would be ideal for that board.
