Then someone may want to contact them before some poor sod runs it at 1.65 and blows a component

FX8350 Overclocking FSB vs Multiplier
- Thread starter DMF1986
- Start date

Yeah that is way too high a voltage. However the binned cores could probably take near 1.6 with excellent cooling.
I think I might email AMD to get there official opinion. They confirmed a few thing for with the FX8350 so the should with the FX9590

1.65v is scary... On the crosshair v, the voltage appears in red if you put it past 1.5v
Soldato
I wouldn't go past 1.55 on a custom loop and don't like past 1.5 for 24/7. You will be surprised at the abuse these chips can take, its often the motherboard which has more problems with the voltage unless you are running a board as or more expensive than the 8320.

Why don't you just listen to the guys here dude?
On a H100 or dual rad AIO you don't want to push any more than 1.5v. This is the area where an Asus board, for example, will turn the Vcore red. They do this for a reason, it's a warning.
The only time I have ever seen any one shove 1.65v through a CPU was either by -
Accident, resulting in a dead CPU or
Under DICE/LN2 in order to break world records.
So as I said I would listen to the guys here before you end up causing your equipment or yourself serious damage.
Nothing wrong with the getting a opinion from the manufacturer DUDE!
And at what point did I say ohhhhh yeah I have just wacked 1.65v through my CPU, it was a general question. DUDE!

Andy can you send me the template for making the acrylic fan holder mate?

thebest results are ussually combination of BCLK and multiplier. There is many next option in highest OC (motherboard, PSU, cooling, model of CPU FX, piece of MB/CPU)
Soldato
GFY.

What I'd expect...

That escalated quickly... Any reply from AMD? Fairly sure they'll say 1.5v max
None as of yet mate

OK back to FSB overclocking... just about to tinker with mine now. Forgot how many settings to tinker with!
Associate
There are a load... still not sure I've got mine totally sorted. Can play bf4, eu4, Far Cry 3, Guild Wars 2 for hours on end but then randomly on Batmah: Arkham Asylum (a 5 year old game) I get a random system_service_exception BSOD... Of course half way through the pre-joker boss fight

OK quick test done. Stock I transcoded a movie that was not too large and ran the same operation after the settings in the picture below:
It completed the task 44 seconds quicker or approx 20% improvement.

Thats a decent improvement then. What fsb are you on now? pic doesn't appear to be working for me...
Just had a reply from AMD the normal operating voltages are 0.85v - 1.5375v with a Max temp on core of 70'
Note "normal" so the should be able to take a little more?

1.6 is pushing it though as someone mentioned a bit too far.
