Hi, quick question.
Running 8320 in asrock 990fx killer mobo .. corsair cx600m, gigabyte 380x..8gb evga ddr3 2400 RAM etc.
Also thermaltake extreme water 3.0 240 mm cooler.
Only question is this, in the overclocking guides that I've seen, I haven't found anything that would give me an answer to this yet. When I'm doing an FSB overclock I can get up to a value of about 225 or 230 and keep it stable but once I move past it no matter the voltage on the CPU or the CPU NB it becomes very unstable. I've also used offset voltage which can help some but this problem persists if I keep the Northbridge frequency at default.
If I take the North Bridge frequency down to 9x it gives more Headroom and I can get up to about 240- 245 before running into a wall again. If I clicked it down to 8x I can get up to about 255 and if I go to 7X I can just about break 260. I can do all this with fairly low voltage considering I'm at about 4.7 gigahertz here. My question is this, is this practice that I'm doing something I should watch out for? Is there a reason I have not seen this covered in any of the overclocking tutorials?
When I run benchmarks like cinebench R15 I'm still getting great scores compared to standard multiplier overclock that go with the standard tutorials that I've seen. At 4.7 gigahertz I'm getting a score of around 740 and running a voltage of about 1.45 volts on the CPU and about 1.265 volts on the CPU NB with an offset voltage of 100 mv.
This motherboard doesn't seem to have LLC as I've seen in many guides. I see settings for cpu vdda and it has two settings, one at 2.57 and one at 2.70 I believe....(not at home note so don't quote me on that).
My voltage offset has values for
+0mv
+50
+100
+150.
Just FYI on those
Is this anything that's going to hurt my system and is there anything I need to know to make it more stable with this type of overclock if it is viable? Particularly I want to know if by stepping down nb freq if there's some kind of trade-off in games that I'd notice or need to be aware of?
Any tips?
Just using this to tinker around and try to get used to oc'ing so any help is appreciated. Thanks!
