Help and advice for OC

Set Vcore to 1.425V (or as close as possible).

Set Vcore load line calibration to 'extreme' as a start point. Not sure what all the settings are but I was using 'very high' on an ASUS M5A99x board with the same vcore and an FX8350 CPU.

But check the core voltages you are getting whilst running using HWmonitor and CPUz in Windows. Make sure it is not going too high (or low) when under load.

You can leave HWmonitor open at the same time as running realbench.

I can't change vcore because it only gives me words like normal etc. Unless I'm looking in the wrong place?

My current settings (I turned on cool and quiet and the other option which I can't remember right now lol) and it seems OK. My temp (using core temp) only reaches about 45 and my GPU about 54 at the highest. Is this normal??

Where it says CPU Vcore in the third screen? Is that not a voltage?

Temps look fine to me.

It can only change to words or something like -0.( number) or +0.(number) not sure what these are. They only have minuses and pluses in front of them.

Should I leave it as it is for now then? Or recommended to change voltage ?

Leave it as is but look at the voltages as the PC is loaded, I use HWmonitor which gives max and min voltages while it is open.

What are the voltages currently at idle and under load?

HWmonitor and CPUz will tell you if the CPU is throttling where it may be better to add +0.1V or more to CPU core.

Or if it is getting too much voltage (ie above 1.47V say) then put a negative offset -0.1 or greater.

This is using offset voltages. Too much negative offset may cause the PC to fail to boot up or crash. Too much positive offset could cause overheating (>65C) or overvolting (>1.5V) causing potential damage.

You just have to monitor the situation and make changes which are based on the monitoring but are reasonably conservative as well.
