And a suicide run just for fun
My 8350 completed at 5.0GHz
x264FHD bench
Luxmark v2.0
Cinebench
:O is that prime stable?! If so what the hell is your BIOS setup? I need to know!
How much more can I get out of my fx-8320

I am currently running a Phanteks 14 cooler and it is nice and quiet even at max when priming it is bearable. Previously I had the TRUE 120mm from a previous processor and that worked but was noisier. I was limited to 4.4 - 4.5 with the TRUE.
I have been using this processor since launch day 23/10 last year and like it a lot for all sorts of tasks. The memory controller easily handles the ram at 2GHz. I can use a bus clock up to and over 300MHz. I have an old case though and this limits potential a bit.

Those links are great and help me out loads. Way more options on my asus board than my old gigabyte and has saved me some head scratching! Thanks
Is 10 minutes long enough to call it stable though? I thought you would have to test longer than that? Im at 4.4 tested for 1hr as that's the longest test ive done.
What do people consider prime stable or just a stable overclock?

A lot of people don't rate Prime95 for stability testing any more. AIDA64 is a bit more popular.
One way of looking at it, if none of your games or apps are crashing, your 4.4GHz is stable.
Very interesting, i may get fiddling again lol
Almost all will do 4.5GHz at least
That's the best minimum clock to run these at I think, such a big jump over stock.Didn't know that. Will ditch prime for AIDA64 then!

All this talk of prime for testing is making me very sad.
Please I beg all of you to stop using it I quote 8 pack when he says it is a pile of "junk" and it is not worth your time at all.
All you need to do to your computer is use it normally that is t and if it crashes change some settings and try again.
The worst thing about prime is that it holds most people back from getting to the highest clocks possible because of the unrealistic temps that you get when using it.
Only use the computer normally I can not stress this enough just keep an eye on the temps as you use it normally and that is it you will find that you get higher clocks and that's what we are after not who is the best at torturing your new bits of kit and letting that influance your clocks.
