this is benchmark done with fraps @ 4ghz evrything maxed out

i will now do test at 4.8 and post soon

Thanks pal.

this is 4.8ghz at 24x multi which is what i reached at start of post frame rates are worse doesn't make sense

but cinebench shows 20% increase

odd results here will try with multi plus fsb next

21x multi
240 fsb

8.27 slightly better than the 8.21 of just multi

fraps results crysis 3

what you guys make of the 3 different results something aint right here

 

[farmerboy-86]

4 ghz standard was best avg frame rates any ideas why?

 

[teppic]

The Crysis 3 benchmark isn't coming out correctly. It must not be reproducing the same things?

Do you have any games with built in benchmarks from the game menus?

 

[Orch]

You're playing for different amounts of time for a start, you need to try and remove as many variables as possible. Walk the same line for the same time sort of thing.

 

[Avenged7Fold]

surely it is best to use benchmarks which focus on the CPU rather than game benchmarks that also depend heavily on the GPU.

 

[teppic]

Ah, you need a completely reproduced test for benchmarking.

Crysis 3 hits both hard. This is one benchmark of Crysis 3 showing the CPU makes a massive difference.

ok i see your point as i said i have never benchmarked before so what do u suggest i use game wise?

or program wise?

also i edited overclock again still 4.8ghz but this time i put multi to 22.5
and fsb to 215 and i got this

big difference

 

[gpuerrilla]

OK as Avenged posted then it's a case of trial and error here and a mix of FSB and Multiplier will get you to a sweet spot. You can then try lower the voltage and get a good 24/7 setting going.

 

[teppic]

Or start aiming for 5GHz

ok guys here is a more valid test as its on a loop for set amount of time sleeping dogs with everything maxed out with high res pack dlc at 4.8ghz will now test at 4ghz

is this a better test as its same amount of time still new to this sorry i want to make this test on overclocking 8350 as detailed and accurate as possible

we will get there lol

and yeah think i have hit sweet spot tried more multi/ less multi, more fsb/less fsb and this produced best cinebench result now to play with voltage

should i try to lower voltage of ram cpu/nb and cpu if possible?

 

[teppic]

Yes, a fixed benchmark like this will mean the only difference is the clock speed.

Appreciate it Rich.

this is 4.8ghz

Spoiler

this is 4ghz

now 4ghz is better i cant see that 4.8 gained nothing what so ever here guys but that what the results show and as you can see from pics ran both tests identical! whats going on

only thing i can think of is that this game is gpu based and where not seeing much difference as its not showing true cpu fps

do u guys agree here?

is battlefield 3 best way to test if so i will download tomorrow and test with that

i see loads of posts all over net on 8350 overclocking and most are not detailed or have any evidence to back up there overclock i want to post some real results for people to use in overclocking 8350 and test its true performance suggestions guys?

 

[teppic]

Nice to see people enjoying tweaking their systems instead of bickering

maybe my thread can bring a end to war lol

this is why i like overclockers forum compared to others because we all share same goal and come together to find a solution rather than throw useless info around

Yeah, if you get no real difference between two runs at different clocks then it's your GPU limiting it, not the CPU. If you can raise your GPU overclock to 1100MHz stable then you'll almost certainly see those numbers rise.

 

[farmerboy-86]

my gpu wont go over 1050 its gigabyte oc and this puppy has her lead on (voltage locked)

so thats why im selling it for another 7970 voltage unlocked so u think gpu is causing bottleneck here?

is the not a cpu based game with benchmark program we could run?

if not then this test will have to wait till new gpu is here next week not 100% on which to buy ideas has to be voltage unlocked and able to have full gpu waterblock
