Hi there, this is my first OC with an FX8370, but have OC'd on Intel, and AMD A10 systems before.
This OC is on stock volts (1.3375) but seems the motherboard demands a little more power, nothing 'complains' though.
Digi+ LLC set to High and set to allow 130% power. Has a vDroop issue if these (LLC at least) aren't set past stock clocks.
Had some shenanigans with Prime95 hitting a SUMOUT error every 19 minutes no matter what settings were used on custom blend test, which was attributed to RAM (had to manually adjust timings using D.O.C.P. AMD RAM profile, then setting everything back manually). Trying to adjust this required a bit of patience+time, and researching solutions online, but now Prime has worked for hours with zero errors. Also had some fun with the motherboard power-cycling a couple times, likely due to an "Auto" setting being left on somewhere (couldn't get back into BIOS without a complete reset). This might also have been a power-at-wall glitch that some electronics have suffered before; however, there is a good power regulator at the socket (it doesn't remove the problem, only lessens it).
It's all good now. 2 days of testing, and more than 12 of hardware stressing.
CPU and Package are within 4C of each other in this photo, but think that might have something to do with it being humid in here at the moment (this place has heat+humidity issues). Yesterday they were within 8C apart with the window open and room temps at 20C.
Voltage bumping at:
4.7Ghz requires 1.35625 (load: the CPU at 55C, Package 50C)
4.8Ghz requires 1.36875 (load: the CPU at 58C, Package 55C)
I'm moving over the weekend, the new place has a proper environment temp/humidity/electrical wise, so that should help stabilize things.
Using this as a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) as a hobby, so for the most part stability is more important than performance, so I might opt for close-to-stock settings as possible. For what I could squeeze out of stock volts, thinking this is a good chip
