Additional edit: Just got a red screen of death, yes red. Scaling back NB core voltage to stocks, gonna see if that makes a difference.
Additional edit: Achieved stability by decreasing ram speed to 2133mhz with tightened timings.
I've ALMOST achieved a stable attempted overclock to 4.5Ghz with 1.475v hovering around stable with a 20 minute aida64 stress test around a mark of 51 degrees Celsius. Around 61 degrees when stress tested with Prime 95 before crashing after about 8 minutes of stress testing, prime 95 is more intensive I take it? Ideally I'd like to get a stable 4.5GHz on my cpu before I scale the ram frequency back and tighten my timings a bit.
I'm pretty sure I can dial down the voltages a bit buuuuut I've screwed with the NB Core voltage a bit and I've yet to successfully touch the north-bridge frequency without everything going to hell in a hand-basket. My NB frequency is defaulted at 1,800Mhz though I've heard the North-bridge needing to match the ram speed but I've also heard people getting away with 2100mhz nb frequency with 2,400Mhz oced ram with the A10 7850k. Is any of this true? Also is my NB core voltage fine, do I need to adjust any of these voltages?
Also I'd appreciate it if nobody gave me shit for pairing an R9 290 with an APU, I got it cheap for $200 so it was kinda of an afterthought.
