FX-8350 4.6Ghz at 1.38V (Need advice)

[justin_sap]

Hi,
I've recently built a new PC. I'm new to overclocking and I've managed to overclock my 8350 to 4.6Ghz and has been stable for 4 hours so far on Prime95.

In the BIOS, I've disabled all power saving options, adjusted the multiplier and set the CPU voltage to 1.38v. Under load in Prime 95 my CPU temp is max 53 Degrees and 35 Degrees on idle with air cooling. I wanted to ask if this is good and if I can go further?

I had started at 4.2Ghz and slowly raised the multiplier and voltage everytime everything was stable through Prime95.

Thanks.

Specs:
AMD Fx 8350 4.6Ghz
CM Hyper 212 Evo Cooler
Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3
G Skill Sniper 2x4GB 1866Mhz
Radeon R9 290
EVGA 600W 80plus Bronze PSU
Samsung Evo 250Gb SSD
NZXT Phantom 410 Case - Running 2 front and one bottom 120mm intake fans and 3 140mm exhaust fans.

Update: I should mention, I set my LLC to Medium as it was crashing previously with Vdroop.

I'd be very pleased if I got those results and yes it looks like you still have a bit more headroom. Good Luck!

If I take it up to 4.7Ghz at 1.40-1.41v and it's stable, running 58 degrees under load and 40 Degrees idle. Is this healthy to run 24/7?

Thanks.

Man, it's hard to get more responses out of this forum. Lol

You could try, but as you know... More volts = more heat... 1.4v might be too high for safe temps, but might as well try it.
