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

dude your gonna fall off your chair here ready......

i thought that was individual fps for cpu and gpu lmao. told you i dnt know much bout computers atm

i feel so silly :o omg

so thats just usage oh got ya :eek:

thank god for that then was worried, may hide from here for few days in shame lol

yeah got vysnc on at 60 fps that 59 is just from me pausing it or level end, with vsync off iget 180
 
Yellow above green indicates CPU bottleneck and green above yellow indicates everything is fine. Spikes in either indicate instability...

so from this above does it mean gpu is holding me back?
if you look at pics mine is yellow above green
 
Doing a quick google - those are just milliseconds in rendering times. The lower the better. Nothing to worry about, but huge spikes would indicate a problem. BF3 multiplayer hits the CPU quite hard, which is why you've got a couple of smaller spikes there.

By that definition its saying the cpu is a bottleneck. What is interesting is I hear that it only uses 6 cores. Maybe there is some tweaking to improve here.

I don't think that's what it means. If you were to monitor CPU usage while playing I can almost guarantee it wouldn't be anywhere near 100%.

no selling my current 7970 and getting a new one but i see 2 forsale and there pretty cheap no not running 3 bud lol i is new sabertooth as good as v formula?

i like my current crad maxes everything but i want whole system under water and this card cant plus i would like to clock card or at least have option to where as this card is voltage locked wont go over 1050 core 1550 mem

i have some spare cash so gonna overhaul system mobo,gpu and water on gpu

also new mobo will help with 5 plus as vrm on this board gets hot

Formula Z
3 x PCIe 2.0 x16 (dual x16 or x16/x8/x8)

Sabertooth
3 x PCIe 3.0/2.0 x16 (dual x16 or x16/x8/x8)

PCIe 2.0 dual x16 = PCIe 3.0 dual x8

You'll see a very slight improvement in FPS on the sabertooth and will be more future proof.

VRms will get really hot regardless on with these chips. I'd get a universal VRM Waterblock in a s part of your loop.

No, those are tight. Try loosening them to get 1600MHz stable overclocked.

Sorry didn't explain it very well, it was originally 9-9-9-24-1T out the box and ran fine on my fx4100 build, but they've now been loosened to 9-10-9-27-2T and still having these issues.

You reckon loosen them some more?

Any ideas how to best stress the system to recreate what it's going through when playing BF3? Obviously I prefer just play BF3 but missus is at work so just me and my little boy today so can't.
 
Ha, that's exactly I've just done. Upped it 1.275. memory is already 1.65v so don't want to go any higher. I'm also trying a lower multiplyer and FSB of 110, HT & CPU/NB now at 2300ish
 
morning guys first of on the official thread info i have messaged the mods who oversea cpu section on a request for name change.

second the thread is coming along nicely

good to see your making progress orch

on my progress side i am still playing with 4.8 for my final overclock to get 100% stable and best temps possible, before i try for 5ghz

i have added a fan off the heatsink that comes with 8350 to the vrm heatsink,

and this is what i got temps wise, aida64 fpu test only

temps are cool now was hitting 67 on socket before and 50 on core, defo improvement in temps :D

singleplayer

so i couldn't sleep after these results! there poor something is wrong here guys so low on results.

everything is maxed out on graphics apart fom motion blur is off, and v-sync is on :eek:

do you agree its a bad overclock causing this or something else perhaps.

and if its overclock what you think could be causing it?

i got no lag or throttle back at all, i ran in windowed mode so i could watch temps and cpu-z for throttle.

im mythed here oc seams stable on aida64 for hrs, played battlefield no probs for couple hrs no lag ect

HELP! lol

Well AIDA64 been running for an hour and a half with no issues, a bit warm though so will notch down vcore, I'm only just over 4.7 now anyway.

Farmerboy how do you get those CPU/GPU overlays?

do a ghetto mod dude helped me lol

on bf3 you mean hit the button above tab and type in:-


RENDER.DRAWFPS 1 draws an FPS counter shown in green
RENDER.PERFOVERLAYENABLE 1 enables a CPU monitor
RENDER.PERVOVERLAYVISIBLE 1 shows the CPU Monitor ``

lower is better on graphs if you get lots of spikes means unstable :D

good luck dude
