***official amd 83x0 overclocking thread***

No problem keep eye on the temps and turn all fans to max while stress testing

 

[Mathematics]

Still hasn't crashed though

 

[nikki5974]

Spoke too soon, has already failed test lol

Arghhh

Up the volts a touch and try again

 

[nikki5974]

I was running my overclock just short on 5Ghz with only 1.404 voltage and passed IBT etc

2 day i tried for 5.5Ghz (failed) Loaded my profile for 5Ghz and reran IBT failed

had to up my volts and now its at 1.42v and passed IBt so dunno why that happened

 

[Mathematics]

I set the volts to 1.465 but CPU-Z is showing 1.476v, it's passed 3 runs on standard stress so better than last time

 

[nikki5974]

The increase is from Ultra high LLC and thats not 2 much fluctuation so dont worry just keep eye on them temps

 

[Mathematics]

Failed after 2 runs on high stress, bloody thing!

 

[nikki5974]

I just stress test @ standard 5 runs or 10 runs depending if i have my fans on lowest or highest speeds

 

[Mathematics]

Well it passed 5 on standard so I'm happy then

 

[nikki5974]

Yep be happy if you get problems when your gaming etc then thats when its not stable

 

[Mathematics]

About to run 3Dmark06 so will let you know what happens lol

 

[Mathematics]

Well it didn't crash and got a score of 23570, CPU score was 7460

Hi people i was adviced to come here for advice on the fx cpu. I have been inspired too switch from my original plan to build a i7 gaming pc too amd one by ALXAndy.

I am not quite back upto speed on computer tech but getting their hopefully

Is the 8320 as easy to overclock as a 8350? Will they reach the same speeds

The 9370 Seems to be pretty reasonable in price but requies a lot more power. What level of cooling do these requies? Do these chips have enougth benifit to justify the extra cost in purchasing and running?

How will the new kavari apu stock in all this

 

[petertr2000]

Yea will be slow cause all cores are already at 100% giving no room for anything else

Its was 100% on all 8 in Prime too, but the PC still seemed to be pretty responsive.

I guess some of the difference will be that the GPU is 100% in AIDA64 too, which affects the GUI?

 

[nikki5974]

I guess it could be prime doing different things than IBT,not stressing the cpu as much

maybe some1 can explain with more technical terms i just keep it plain and simple

Err ok 1 at a time...

1) Yes
2) Get the 8320, decent cooler
3) Great value tbh
4) It's an APU so will be a great all rounder but not as powerful as the above

 

[alex_123_fra]

Edge, the benefit of 8350 over 8320 is marginal.

With either, you ought to get at least an H100 CPU cooler if planning to overclock.

The 9370 reaches speeds that can be achieved fairly easily yourself with either an 8320 and 8350 if you have a decent board. So not worth going for the 9370 or 9590 really.

 

[EdgeDs]

I plan on getting a h100 reference peobably with four fsns in a push pull configiration just need to find a good case that fits it
