FX-8150 Overclocking question

No such rule here, written or unwritten.

I usually don't post links to forums that could be considered competition on any forums I use simply because it usually isn't in most forum rules but turns out to be a rule.

This is obviously a guide using a particular motherboard however, the terminologies, voltages and frequencies should be similar enough for most to figure it out or omit if it does not apply to your BIOS. It should serve as a nice starter guide that helps people keep their gear from cooking while figuring out what all of the big words mean.

Guide.

Yeah that guide has been posted in another thread here already so certainly no problem with posting it.

I just finished prime 95 12 hours @ 4515 and i have to run at 1.464 cpu voltage and llc maxed out

what temp monitoring program are you using?

you have one heck of a processor there.

I use AMD overdrive to watch my temps mostly but I'm sure there are better ways. Core Temp seems to read too low, it's folding(100% load) reading 35 degrees right now while Overdrive says 46. If you are using an H100 you should be at a safe temperature because people are hitting 5Ghz with decent temperatures using those.

hicsimus,4.7 takes 1.525v and just hits 63c prime95 blend.
his processor must be awsome.
anyway, my h100 fans failed, went to the corsair web site, e-mailed the 'ramguy' gave him the numbers off the box and they have sent me new fans. so corsair is a stand up company.

I know this isn't total proof because I didn't run it for half of a day (edit: or even 1 pass). I'm probably quite lucky to have come across this cpu but it tends to happen when you buy wayyyy too much hardware.
