    FX8350 overclock

    Hi guys i got some troubles overclocking my new 8350... i had a FX8120 @4,3 GHz with only multiplier up and vcore 1,375, done in a Asrock 990FX extreme 3 mobo

    With same motherboard, i need 1,425v on vcore to set fx8350 at 4,5ghz upping multiplier, leaving all other settings at stock

    Have you got any suggestion? i think 1,425 is too high for daily use.

    I'm now trying to set bus from 200MHz stock to 215, and setting lower cpu multiplier (from 22 to 20) and vcore to 1,37 and system seems more stable than only multiplier shooted high

    Make sure you have flashed to the latest BIOS version.

    That's the way to go for O/C'ing AMD tbh.

    for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.

    I use this kind of overclocking generally, but with FX8120 it wasn't needed... so you suggest to continue this way and maybe set FSB 233MHz and trying to leave multiplier stopped at 20?

    Re: FX8350 overclock

    Lower your RAM
    Lower your CPU NB
    Disable CPU spread specturm.
    Set all LLC options to 0% or regular
    Manually set CPU vcore to 1.375 and CPU/NB to 1.1
    Set CPU NB to 2000mhz

    Then start raising your FSB and multi to whatever you want.
    I always do this before doing any overclock to avoid further problems.

    Your chip may prefer FSB overclocking. My old FX didn't agree with FSB + multi. Every chips different but I would also wait till more BIOS revisions come out because could purely be to do with BIOS being iffy with it at the moment.

    Re: FX8350 overclock

    yeah mines happy at 4.5 gig @22.5 multi on stock voltages. Havent tried going any further yet though as I need to fit my new water block before going for the 5 gig OC.

    It's possible that you just have a really poor CPU. A similar thing happened with my 2500k, which can't get past 4.4ghz.
