fx 8350 still oke?????

[mastergup]

Hello guys I have a few quastions about this cpu.

I have a fx 8350 running at 4.2ghz, the quastions that i have are the following,
1 is this cpu still good enough for gaming most of the time,

2 will it bottleneck my gpu Msi R9 390

3 will it give me more performance overclocking it to 4.4ghz I mean on intel the extra 200mhz will not give me that much, is it on amd more?

i can not get higher at the moment then 4.4ghz becaus i,m cooling it with a cooler master tx 3
on a msi 970 board, with this board it needs 1.45v to run

i do not say that i only internet, is say if i internet, why should i run the cpu then a t 1.45v.

i need the full power when i game, render or stuff like that, not when i,m doing nothing.

on my intel pc, i had i left it all the time at full speed.

Then don't run it full-time at that. Bump it up via AMD Overdrive when needed.

no no i,m not running 4.2ghz and then go with amd overdrive to 4.5ghz, when i need id, do you ever need it??

i just whant to have a stable 24/7 overclock, and if 1.5v is safe to run, when temps are oke, then i whant it at 1.5v and lets say 4.7/4.8 ghz, but i dont no that much about amd, so dont know the max voltage to run 24/7 at

If you struggle with running anything smoothly or at a FPS you desire, then experiement with it to see if a further OC will run it better. GTAV is one of very few things that comes to mind for me that does benefit from the increased core speed.

I run at 4.0 GHz at stock voltages 95% of the time, and OC further if needed, but I do not run at 1.45V+ unless absolutely needed.

Max voltage is 1.55v. Max temps are 62c core/ 70c socket. Do not exceed.

do nothing more than internet then

I don't know about you, but "doing nothing more" means only.

But I am not going to argue over what you did or did not write. You can read it yourself.

However, if you want to get a stable overclock, then follow that article and do it in the BIOS rather than AOD.
Avoid overclocking inside the OS.


1- Disable all power saving features and turbo. SVM, AMP, Cool n'Quiet, C1E, C6 State....

2- Set your LLC to a high value or equivalent on your mobo.

3- Set your CPU voltage to manual.

4- Start bumping multiplier and stress testing each time you change a value

You stop overclocking once you reach either MAX TEMP OR MAX VOLTAGE, whichever comes first. 1.55v or 70c socket.

then maybe my writing is not good enough let me explain different then, why would i let it run at 1.45v if i,m browsing on the internet, i need the power when i game, and render, not when i,m looking on facebook, so i let it clock down, i did a lot of testing finding my max clock , with the green power options disabled, but after finding that, i enable them again.

Forget about it. It's water under the bridge.

Just read the article and get a stable OC.

Wow. All of this is very helpful. I also have an FX-8350 paired with an MSI Gaming 970 board. But, does anybody have any idea why I'm getting frame drops down to 35-45fps and averaging around 50-60fps in GTA V in 1080p using stock speeds and a GTX 980Ti? Is my FX-8350 with stock speeds bottle necking my GPU? I don't have my settings quite maxed, but I feel like I should be able to max them considering I bought a freaking 980Ti. I don't mind overclocking, but I'm new to it, and haven't tried it yet. I just recently bought a Corsair H100i GTX, so cooling is no issue. With stock speeds, my cpu runs at the ambient temp of my room, and at full load, runs about 10 degrees hotter. So I have a ton of breathing room there. If you think I need to overclock, does anybody have suggestions on what settings to start with that commonly work with the Fx-8350 and MSI Gaming 970 pair? Also, could somebody direct me to the correct thread for this, if I need to be directed there?

I know 1 thing about amd, and that is that the single core performence is not that good, so every 100mhz you can clock it higher it will give you less frame drops.

there are different ways to do, but i use the multiplier and not the fsb, put it at 4.3ghz 1.352v and disable the power options, then test, if pass go to 4.4ghz and test again, if not passed then up the voltage 1 notch and test again, and so on.
after you found it stable then you can deside to turn on the power options, if you dont whant to use 1.4+v if you at that moment browes the internet.

I actually just noticed I had v-sync on and I swore I turned it off. My fps is fine now, other than the occasional drop for a second or two. I might still overlock my cpu just because I can, and because it runs so cool, so why not squeeze a little bit more power out of it. I'm not gonna try to push it super far. Just a bit for now.

what videocard you have then?
i always leave v-sync on on the games i play and still get no drops.

I have a 980 Ti but I think its being bottlenecked a bit by my processor at times. But I didn't realize I still had v-sync on so once I turned it off, I got my fps higher than 60. It still drops for a second or 2 every now and then, but nothing major.
