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

[gpuerrilla]

Add me in

CPU - FX 8320 @ 4.9 GHz, 1.54V
Board - Asus MA990FX - 245MHz bus x20. HT/NB HT-2700MHz NB-2458
Ram - 16Gb ddr3 Kingston HyperX Genesis 1600 @ 1966MHz 11-11-11-27 1.55V,
Cooling - XSPC RS 360 Rad, EK Block, Alphacool DC-LT pump and Res

this is totally Stable. 5Ghz stable is proving difficult to master, but we'll see!

CB - as the 8350 option fell through I am thinking of replicating your setup but getting the 'pro' version as its only a tenner more. I don't know if the features are worth it but now that I see you have go a 8320 near 5Ghz I think this is what I will go for.

It's a good shout mate, this board has nearly all the features of the Sabertooth board for less money and of course it's 990FX to boot.

I think the only board better than this one is the Crosshair V but thats mucho cash.

 

[gpuerrilla]

Yeah I was thinking similar thaughts but trying to save some cash as a liquid cooler is between 50-100.

I was also going to match a new case to fit the cooling solution at the top - another expense. Trying to match up all the components now before phase II of working on the wife.

Think I am gonna have to go finance on this on over 6 months!!

CB - do you know in crossfire does it run 16xdual and what speed RAM is ideal on these boards (it's been a while knowing what to buy for each generation)?

Nice work Farmerboy I'll be pushing mine abit further and get my volts etc up

Hi Gavin and welcome to the thread of madness!!

I heard the UD3 boards were not having a good time. Let us know how you get on!

Looking at the specs

2 x PCIe 2.0 x16 (dual x16)

DDR3 2133(O.C.)

So your good

 

[gpuerrilla]

Sorry but RAM is confusing we have:

DDR3 Quad, Triple, and Dual channel. Speeds are 1333, 1600, 1800mhz.

Sacking the 16Gb off as I would love that but nearly £100 is too much so 8Gb (2x4) will have to do for now!

Edit - server 20 second error.

How do I set up trust guys?

 

[gpuerrilla]

Check the stickies or rules on post count. They upped it a few times over the years.

So you'll want Dual Channel at the quickest speed you can afford. I don't recommend Corsair as it does'nt clock well. I do recommend Kingston as it does with this board at least.

click on the trust button in your post, then click login, then enter your forum name and password. Should do the trick.

May need 1000 posts, not sure.

Guys I forgot to put this here.. A guide written by Asus for a somewhat guaranteed 4.8 on 8350 and CHVFZ.

http://rog.asus.com/216552013/cross...g-fx-8350-to-4-8ghz-on-crosshair-v-formula-z/

Very handy for getting you started

 

[MOOGLEYS]

Nice guide I shall follow that later this evening when I install the board and CPU.

Yep good guide. My CHVFZ just arrived, what a beauty!

The only thing in the guide I would avoid like the plague is AI suite. In my opinion it is total garbage and in a previous system a cause of many hangups. Not to mention totally inaccurate temp readings. Use trusted third party software.

 

[ALXAndy]

I'm using HWMON.

 

[gpuerrilla]

I placed an order for new rig but it's not listed on the processed status yet. (excited but not counting chickens yet).
