Cooled with the Hyper 212 Evo with some Noctua fans, keep in mind the ambient temps in my home 24/7 are 60 F and below, and so I cant go much higher than this
This makes me want to see how AMD will deal with the new 5ghz CPU. You acheiving this with a Hyper 212 evo gives me higher hopes than I had for those new CPU's.
DUDE! How is this possible! Would LOVE to pick your brain to get some tips! I have the same mobo and cpu, but need 1.48 to hit just 4.6ghz! Stock voltage on my chip is 1.35v though (a lower binned 8350 for sure). Please! Share your secrets!
Those voltages are awsome, my 8350 runs at 1.38v stock settings.
I've been doing some experimenting lately with overclocking and i can get 4.8 and 4.9 stable, with just a fsb only overclock and just a multi only overclock.
Which one would give the best gaming performance? Because i've just used cinebench so far for testing and the scores are the same between fsb only and multi only.
Update just got 5ghz stable, but it required 1.5875volts. Good thing its the middle of the night and winter where i am, otherwise my h100 wouldn't have held out long enough to test it. :(
I've got a 900d that i'm planning on building a maxed out custom watercooling loop in, when i eventually save up enough. This leads me to my next question that i hope someone can answer. Would this overclock be okay to use under a certain temp? For example never over 45c.
I usually just let mine sit through prime when I go to bed. Average is ~450 tests completed. If it isn't stable, he will find out when the bsod hits him lol. I want to know how high he can get RAM with fsb overclock.
