Hello all,
Heres my specs first of all:
ASUS Sabertooth 990FX R2.0
Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming Superclocked (+130 Core clock, +330 Memory Clock from stock)
AMD FX 8350 8 Core @ 4.3GHz (Stock cooler)
Corsair Ballistix Elite 2x8GB DDR3 1866
Corsair R300 Carbide
EVGA Supernova G2 750W
So I currently am running the processor overclocked to I believe 4.2Ghz or 4.3 GHz, everything seems to run well. One thing I did notice while benchmarking in Unigine Valley: Somehow by upping my Overclock to the right point on my video card, along with a sweet spot with the CPU, I got a score of 2600, where as before I got like 2100.
My question going forward: I am looking to get this 8350 running stable @ 4.6 or 4.7 Ghz to maximize potential performance. I do have a HYPER EVO 212 Fan sitting here ready to install. But I wanted to know what was the best stress testing program for the CPU, (I know of Prime 95) I do have Prime95 installed I believe, However I do not know if its the correct version or what not and am not sure how to use it. (I did try it out once and in like 20 seconds I was already getting signal my CPU was at 65 celcius.
Any tips suggestions?
I do have my my MOBO settings to DOCP and I have a custom XMP ram profile set up. Also I set all the CPU functions to the higher setting for overclocking.
Any tips would be appreciated. Thank you
