8350 settings

[Chrisoldinho]

Hi 8 Pack,

I am in the process of overclocking my 8350, CPU cooler Phanteks PH-TC14PE in a CM Storm Trooper case.

I can achieve some decent clock speeds, and vcore requirement for OCCT stability doesn't seem to bad, however temps always seem to be an issue once I go past 4.7.

Here are my current settings @ 4.7:-



CPU VDDA lowered to 2.2 from 2.5 and vcore up a fair bit at 1.48125, CPU/NB upped to 1.2 from 1.875.



temps vary between 57-60 degrees C. My question is, what can I do to reduce thermals, without compromising stability if anything, which would then allow me to push on further, as I clearly have a lot of headroom in the vcore but the limitations of my cooler seem to be holding me back a bit.

I have followed the guide here http://www.overclock.net/t/1348623/amd-bulldozer-and-piledriver-overclocking-guide-asus-motherboard for the Digi+ settings, my system seems close to being stable (30 minutes then fails on Core 0) if I use these settings at 4.7:-



This seems to reduce thermals a touch (3 degrees C).

Any advice appreciated, apart from getting a new cooler

Regards,
Chris.
