Hey guys,

Until I can get a 8350, I want to OC my rig.

I have a:
ASUS Crosshair V Formula Motherboard
8GB GSkill Sniper 2133Mhz 9-11-10-28 Model F3-17000CL9D-8GBSR RAM
AMD FX 8120 CPU
Corsair H100i AIO Cooling Loop
Antec Earthwatts 750 PSU Bronze

I am looking for a stable clock but fast.

It's up to your CPU and your willingness to increase the multiplier, add voltage and check for stability.

WHut Erocka said. Simply set CPU voltage to 1.525 V ,and work your way up with multis. There is no way for ANYONE to give you settings...you need to test for yourself. You know all the temperature rules, etc

For example, my first 8150...4.2 GHz max. My second...5.4 GHz. That's a 1.2 GHz difference, same chip. NO way to know without testing each chip, so get to it, stop wasting time looking for the easy way out, since there really isn't one. It'll take some time to find the max for you.

Really? I can see that for max overclock, but for some simple gaming I don't know...

I'd leave the voltage at stock and work the multiplier up until it isn't stable first.

If board is left on auto, it'll adjust voltage with multis. 1.525V should be fine, even my 8150 gets that. With all chips, cpus and GPUs alike; ram too; there is a point where voltage additions don't give the same gains as they did at lesser intervals...THAT is where the voltage should stop, IMHO...but again, that's a per-chip thing.

Set it to 6.9v and the multi to x50.5. That should give you 1337 graphix.

Funny, I do both. Let everything to Auto and bump the multiplier, test for stability and temps, and stop after either temps are too high or stability isn't there.

Next step is to leave the voltage at spec and move the multi up, monitor temps and stability till the wall is hit. Bump the voltage and see where it's stable... lather, rinse, repeat.
