Hey guys! I have recently overclocked my system and it feels a little off.
First of all, my system wouldn't boot without a REALLY high vcore. And my temps feel to high, also.

As I stated in the title I'm running a fx-8350 with a h100i.

I have my clock speed set to: 4424 (210 x 21)
And my max vcore is at 1.42v

If I run prime95 with the h100i at 100% my core temp instantly hits 55C and keep going to 62C in under 3 mins.

Could it simply be that my paste is not seated correctly?
 
Hey,

Start by going back to stock and running prime. Then report back with the temps. If they are still high you should try re-seating your cooler with some fresh paste and then try again.

Hope this helps!
 


I'll have to do that tomorrow due to the time.

Reports will come!

P.S. What is the stock vcore for the fx-8350?
I can't seem to find it.
