FX-8120 OC Help!

[RGone]

Yeah, that $150 worth of Just Buy ram could have bought some good shett at NewEgg. If you don't need 16gig for something special, then I would only get 8 gigs since it is easier to clock in 2x4gig sizing. I use the Ares Gskil stuff at DDR1866 and then never have to deal with those tall heat spreaders.

I run the Topmost set from this linked page at NewEgg.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...deId=1&name=DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900)&Order=PRICE Not overly expensive and will do DDR2000 pretty darn easily.

I'm sure I can get rid of my current ram on newegg for a decent amount.

I been looking at the 2 sets below yours on the link you posted.

The sniper series and the ripjaw series. Would go well with my current black/red theme.

 

[RGone]

Yeah, I know the ram has got to bling. Hehehe. Not for me though, I might want to put my ginormous air-cooler on and it would cut me to two sticks.

Ok ran into some more questions.

DIGI+ Power Control

Everything is on AUTO or Standard or 100%

Is there anything here I would look at changing?

Probably not at your current speed and other settings.

Well getting an error now in P95.

FATAL ERROR: Rounding was 0.5, expected less than 0.4

Multi at 20x
Vcore set at: 1.308 (auto) drops down to 1.272 under load. 1.320 idle

Try upping the Cpu llc in the digi to high and see if it thakes care of the V droop. Watch the temps though.

 

[Desync]

That done the trick. Now my VCore isn't dropping below 1.320 under load and its at 1.332 idle.

 

[Desync]

Well upped my vcore to 1.40 and 21.5 multi for a 4.3 oc.

Currently stable, temps just don't like it.

20min into the test I'm at

64c CPU and 43c cores

Going to get brave and cut a hole one day in the side case and suck out air.

I guess going from 3.1 to 4.3 is a big jump tho.

 

[RGone]

64c CPU and 43c cores = That is really not that bad. It could be better but if it would stay there over 2hours of P95 Blend, then it would be fine for me. I mean you don't normally push it that hard day to day.

No I don't really do that much with it. My temps dropped back down to 56c for a few minutes then back up to 63c where they are now.

I took my H110 off today and put on some AS5 thermal. Still want to experiment with what I got and see if I can lower the temps.

Thanks again RGone for all the help. Learned a lot of stuff this go round with OCing.
