Your best AMD-FX CPU overclocks

Best stable results and voltage (include any extra voltage settings that affect sum of total Core

Include any other related info... (cooling etc.)

AMD Athlon 2100+ clocked at 1.8GHz (50-100MHz over stock) yeah baby!

Stock cooler

Do you want just the FX chips, or bulldozer APUs too?

FX-8350
4.6GHz
1.38v
AsRock 990FX Extreme9
Corsair H80i

We have a FX Ocers club

Plenty of users and information posted there

FX-8350 4.8Ghz 1.485v

Northbridge 2.6Ghz 1.4125v

RAM 16GB (11,12,11) 2133Mhz 1.775v

Corsair H80i GT

Stability Verified: 1hr Aida64 Stability Test

=====================
Reason for stopping at 4.8Ghz = Temperature (highest for stress testing & gaming before thermal throttling)

Next Step = Custom Water Loop!

Ram Timings are:
tCL 11
tRCD 12
tRP 11
tRAS 29
CR 1T
tRC 40
tWR 12
tRFC 300
tRRD 5
tWTR 6
tRTP 6
tFAW 24
tCWL 9

Why don't you get DDR3 2400Mhz CL10 ram and lower it to 2133 CL9? That 1.77V now is a bit overkill for DDR3 and mainboard+cpu ram controller.

^^^^that will cause stability problems there

but here's my poor OC. I've been higher but this was the highest I could get fully prime stable

TheHunter · Oct 2, 2016

But he was already running at 2133, with 2400mhz I meant its better binned then 2133 or 1866mhz CL9 and that will easily run at 2133MHZ CL9-10-10-27 @ 1.65v. Also 2400 got really cheap now.. ~ 100€/$ or less 2x8GB 2400 CL10

I meant 1.77V bud lol

How are your temps so low???

Custom loop with 3x240mm Radiators and low ambient temps

Don't see the point in buying new sticks when I can get 2133 anyway -- even if I do need to over volt them so badly. (I only use this O/C for gaming)

A number of factors are affecting me:
-Northbridge overclock reduces memory latency and increases bandwidth but seems to strain the RAM more
-High CPU overclock seems to strain them a little
-I am using the tightest possible timings for my mediocre ram. I can increase timings and drop voltage but then I'd no longer be on the absolute bleeding edge of its limit.
-I've also got 4 sticks, 2 are rated differently

Took me weeks -- and for a long time, voltage was actually doing nothing, no matter what combination of O/C or timings. From this I've learnt that over volting RAM only helps bring you back from being JUST BARELY over the line of instability.

/\ Don't know if anyone else has had better results with RAM voltage than me?

I've left the heating off before to get 10c lower but you must be absolutely freezing lol.

I've ran in temps as low as -20*C during niching season

eidairaman1 · Oct 15, 2016

I can run my 2133 at 1.65 for 2400 Trident Series Model lol.

Onglar · Oct 24, 2016

i did 4.8 on my 8350 with 1.485 volts on air for 24/7, i think CPUNB was about 2500-2600mhz (?), and voltage for that maybe 1.25-1.35v, correct me if any of these numbers seem way out of the ordinary, its been a long time.

I do believe i benched it at almost 5.3 on air, but had to open windows for that and smack 3 3500RPM 140s on my phanteks cooler
