FX-8350 Overclock

humax · 20 Nov 2015 at 00:05

Hi guys

I'm trying to overclock my AMD FX-8350 using a Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 board. But I'm having problems with it overheating even at stock settings. The CPU fan is a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus, running at full whack. I would really like to overclock this to about 4.2Ghz if I can but at the moment its getting hot even at stock.

Idle temp

Under load Temp after a few mins

Anyone please help out with this

Thanks

Hi

What do you think is wrong with the Power Supply ?

Could that be causing the over heating problem with the 8350 ?

UPDATE

Okay did this. Repasting The cooler

Put cpu to 4.2

With the cpu vcore in bios press page down twice, save by pressing f10.
After doing that it showed up as -0.800v and it wont boot. So i reset that and it boots.

CPU at 4.2Ghz and this is the idle temp.

And on full load. Had to stop it again as its getting to hot.

Set it back to 4Ghz and again its getting to hot and had to stop it

This is how the case looks. one fan at the front and one at the back. Then another one that sits over the graphics card. The PC has no side panels on it and its in a very cold room with no heating

Disabled cool & quiet and set LLC to medium. Set V-core to 1.30 . Ran a test and its still over heating

Apm is disable which i saw in the other thread, the temps have nothing to do with the vrm's.

The op just has a real hot chip or air flow is not right, is your cooler fan facing the the gpu.

What temp is it getting to with 1.3 volts.

Edit was thinking of HPC, look if your board has the latest bios.

At 1.3 i stopped it as it hit 70c. The bios is the last one they made for the board which was FD. This is how the fan is setup with it blowing on to the heatsink

Do you mean take the fan off and fit it on the top of the HS

humax · 20 Nov 2015 at 21:30

If all this is true they should not be selling this board as i cant even run at stock without it overheating

Are you sure your board is a 990xa-ud3 as its ment to be blue, when yours is black.

Yes its the 990xa-ud3

Is there anyway this could be the CPU that's at fault
