Hello all. This is my first time posting here. I hope I am posting in the right area. But here is my question. I have an Amd 8350fx CPU. But I cant seem to get the the CPU past a 4.4ghz overclock. Temps seem to be fine. it idles at 18c and under a full load while rendering with Lightwave it sits between 46-49c. If I try to set the CPU at a multiplier of 22.5 to make it 4.5ghz it becomes super unstable and crashes immediately. I am not at my PC right now but I know my vcore is quite high for what 4.4ghz. I believe its set at 1.46.
So my question is my cooling insufficient? is my motherboard holding me back? Or do I know have enough power from my power supply? Or am i just bad at overclocking?
Would it be worth while to try to upgrade to a 990fx motherboard or a gold rated power supply?
Specs:
CPU: Amd 8350fx - (currently 4.4ghz oc)
MOBO: MSI Gaming 970 Gaming AM3+
GPU: Nvidia Gtx 970 Ftw+ 4gb
RAM: 2x(g.skill 8gbs) 2x(g.skill 4gbs) total 24gbs of ddr3 1600
SSD: Muskin 256gb
HDD: WD Blue 1tb
PSU: Thermaltake SMART Series SP-750PCBUS
Cooling: Corsair H80i v2 (with push pull setup)
and 2 front fans on the case.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I use the pc mainly for 3d rendering and the occasional game.
