SOLVED Who would help me from the start with overclocking my FX 8350.

[Oldie_1965]

DOnt `know what i will do with the new cooler, the cooler is still in packaging.

 

[Oldie_1965]

I'd change it for a H100.

I will think about it, need more advice, tnx manu

 

[Oldie_1965]

These are the test results with the new setup

It could be stable but not good enough for Package tempatures

 

[Johan45]

Well we can try a couple things to bring the temps down abit. See if you can drop the V-core anothe notch.

Fail with 1 notch lower V

I have also try it before with lower the NB/V and fails again, i rerturned to 1,25 V

 

[Johan45]

Yep looking at that shot the voltage is way too low by the number of workers that failed. If you still want to use that ram we may or may not have to keep the NB_CPU volts up. So we can drop the multi and volts back to 4.5 work on the 4 sticks if you want, see if we can stabilize that. I don't think we'll find enough savings to run 24/7 at 4.6. With better cooling you'll only get another 1 to 200 Mhz at best any way. At 4.64 and 1,47 my AIO keeps it around 45° just to give you an idea.

What do suggest for a better cooling johan?

Edit : My wife killing me

 

[Johan45]

That's the point is it worth another $100 to gain at most a couple hundred HZ. Short of going with a full water loop, you're limited to a decent AIO like the H100i or the Thermaltake extreme. Swiftech has their H2O that's "expandable" but personally I wouldn't spen $150 on one. If you find something on sale it might be worth it. In the end the choice is yours. You can gain a bit and still run cooler or settle in at 4.5 and get it running properly. At these clocks they perform very well for day to day computing.

^This: if you can get the H100 instead of the H80 for €10/€15, fine. If not, keep the H80. Even a custom water loop might limit you at 4.9/5GHz: not worth the €200 spent for 3/400MHz extra.

Or you can: sell the MoBo, return the FX8350 and the H80, keep your air cooler and get a €200 4670k with a €130 Z87 MoBo. You'll be around €50 out of your pocket.

ill will be back in 30 Minutes

 

[tungureanu]

I'd replace it and get something like an nzxt kraken x60 or corsair h110.

in my world bigger=better

 

[Johan45]

I'm with tungureanu I still think it needs more that the H80i but even that might be better than the cooler you're using now. You can always try it out and exchange it if it doesn't suit you. Decent fans make a big difference too. That rad looks fairly thick so something with some good static pressure. I changed mine for the Corsair enthusiast SP and made quite a difference.

Off for home

H80 = 89 Euro
H100= 100 Euro
H110= 107 Euro

 

[RGone]

I think honestly you should return the H80 for refund and put your money on a newer faster video card. If you are not going to an expandable system you will never reach the magic 5.0Ghz stable benchmark of overclocking with a CLCL cooler. You would get more good out of a newer performance video card since most are into gaming.

Wow Rgone

As I understand it if you want extreme overclocking that you also need a fast video card.
The video card is not really new, but I thought he was pretty fast.

[Oldie_1965]

Something strange i guess

why Dram ref Cycle time 300 when i set it on 160? can this make some trouble?

 

[caddi daddi]

earthdog might be able to speak to the video cards better than I can but, I think a good NVidia card and 4.5 will make a very good gamming rig, you have an 6850, don't bother with a 7770........or a 7850 for that matter.
gamming with my cards, I can game well all the way down to 4.2 the only way I really notice a change is to swap cards, don't bother with crossfire or sli just a later generation single card.
want to see what cards are bettering which card, just click the link to the overclocktogon and look at the leaderboard.
your air cooler is doing as well as most all in one water units and better than a lot we see.

 

[Oldie_1965]

Testing with small FFt's

 

[Johan45]

Like i said earlier the extra cash isn't worth the return. Believe me I'm living it.

 

[Oldie_1965]

Ok i did the next test, didnt bump vcore only 3 steps more on the fsb no error
