Can I get a hyper 212 and Overclock the fx 8350 to at least 4.4ghz - 4.5ghz at reasonable temps or I have to buy a better air or liquid cooler.
I also wanted something cheap as the hyper 212 because then I could easily fit an SSD in my build rather than just having a regular hardrive.Plz help.
If you have a good chip and motherboard then yes you should with ease. Also depends on your ambient temps and how good the airflow in your case is. 212's are a fine little cooler for the bargain price.
I got to around 4.5 I believe on my 8150 with a 212 evo. So yes. Yes you can.
Thanks, now I can put an ssd also in my build!! :D
What temps are you getting?
When i used it, under burn test I got under 65c. The CPU is rated for 61, but it didnt throttle or anything. and burn test temps never happen under a real life load.
Is that using coretemp or what program are you using to monitor your temps? Also what was the ambient if you know off hand?
I was in an air conditioned room, about 60F. And I was using Overdrive to measure the temps. Its AMD, so you never get accurate CPU temps.
Of course!!! On stock I got 4.0, and with the hyper 212 evo I got 4.0. With the 212 the fan doesn't sound like a rocket and the heatpipes can't bake cookies.
please upload pics of your 4.7ghz overclock. those temps are ridculously low for an overclocked amd cpu on a mid-range air cooler.
you might wanna use a really intense stress test like prime95 or intel burn test to seriously max out the cpu and see what maximum temps you get.
It was a typo, lol. I edited my post to the 4.5 I ACTUALLY got.
I have a 8350. and I had that exact cooler. You should be able to get atleast 4,4Ghz, provided you have a good motherboard. I had a extremely crappy mobo, I got to ~4350mhz
Especially if you get good thermal paste. I have a 212 Evo and Noctua NT-H1 cooling my FX-6100. I was able to get to 4.5GHz even though my chip is a terrible overclocker. So yes.
