Hi
I have an AMD 8320, ASUS M5A97 PRO (970), AMD 7850 and a 500w OCZ PSU.
So I've finally got a decent cooler (Silver Arrow) so I can start playing with overclocking a little better, its been running at 4Ghz @ stock volts for a month or so, no issues, but the budget £15 cooler soon struggled after the voltage was increased.
So just now, I started off at 1.325v, went upto 4.4Ghz, but 4.5Ghz failed so went upto 1.35v and got upto 4.6Ghz, then when I was testing 4.7Ghz at that voltage I noticed on screen corruption and the video driver crashed.
I went back to 4.6Ghz and it passed (IBT 10 runs) so I tried Valley and noticed graphics corruption, lowered the GPU clock (back to stock) and it helped but still had some. The graphics card has been fine at that clock since I got it.
CPU (core) temp never exceeded 46c, and the GPU got to 60c, which is normal.
Anyone got any suggestions?
