AMD FX Overclocking

Thanks, it was stable at 1.5 in IBT but the GFlop result was lower than 4.9GHZ so I wondered why that was and notched the volts up to 1.524 and ran IBT again and the GFlop result levelled out

I've not had to touch LLC once either, its been on Medium ever since I was on 4.7 on air

CPU temp doesn't go over 50C, VRM do still get hot, with a few minutes of IBT they are 100C, half an hour of Heaven and they don't go over 60C if they get any hotter after a heavy gaming session then I'll look for a small fan but if not there is no need as I don't need to run any CPU software now I've got it to 5GHZ

Time to look into getting more out of my 290X now

Cheers
 
Yeah medium is the best llc on the ud3p, cpu tenps are fine, just play some games and have a look at what the voltage regulator temp's are.

Also with the lastest msi afterburner 4.1.1 you can get it to show cpu temps with amd.

@c35799gamble it's hwinfo64 and look at VR T1, but it mite be named someting else on your board.

Thanks I was wondering what a good overlay was as never bothered before, will afterburner interfere with and overdrive for my gpu oc if they are both running?

There fine both running and with afterburner to enable the cpu temp you need to go into program files where it's install and double click (msiafterburnercfg)

Then find CPUHAL then change the amd one from a 0 to 1 , save and open afterburner,

If you need help i will take pictures of it later and make a step by step guide.

Hwinfo, cant remember sensors name, if you look at my screen shot on previous page its the sensor that shows 115c according to fx's info

Cheers both. I already use hwinfo with rivatuner for my overlay so will have a look and see if I can find it. :)

Thanks
 
I was expecting some sort of guide in the first post in this thread.

I've recently gone back down to 4.4 after being at 5.0 and 4.8 for a few months. Both of the settings I had for those don't seem to be stable anymore.

Too lazy to play around with the settings for now.

I tried this but for some very frustrating reason I am getting access denied when I try and save the config file.

Also the OC settings on my GPU which I spent the last couple of hours applying with Afterburner don't apply on startup, everytime I restart the PC the settings show in Afterburner, the profile is saved and its set to apply on startup but they don't apply IE they show as default in GPU-Z, I have to manually apply the profile each time

Any ideas?

I take it your on win10 aswell as that happen to me, what i done was drap the cfg to desktop, change the 0 too a 1 save it then drag it back ti where it was.

If you look in the cfg file there should be a thing to say apply on start up.
 
Thanks, all sorted, CPU temp is showing in overlay, how stupid is the C drive security in Win 10

I figured out why my clocks weren't applying, so many people had the same problem and gave up by the looks of things searching through Google. Afterburner needs AMD Over Drive to be on but CCC doesn't start up as quickly as Afterburner so I put a 20 second delay in the Afterburner config file and now the clocks apply upon system startup every time

Happy days, doesn't look like my 290x is as good a clocker as my 8350 though
