Overclocking 8150

[Karol401]

I think this is my 2nd thread because on my 1st i didnt get answer so sorry for double posting but could anyone tell me some settings i should set or where could i get with corsair H80 cooling ? I use MSI 990fxa-gd80 MB. I know everybodies chip settings warry but some settings somebody achieved i would like to get to about 4.5-4.9 ghz stable. I tried adding multiplier and voltages but havent been stable etc.

start with a multiplier of 45 (or maybe 44 with a slightly raised FSB)... i'd suggest enabling LLC (load line calibration) and play with the VCore a bit, try 1.4 or so to start (lower may work, my experience is with the phenom II chips)

 

[Karol401]

dude 45 multiplier is like 5.5ghz + + where could i look for lcc? i cant find it

 

[nna2]

^whoops lol, and it should be below the voltages (or in the voltages somewhere)... if not then your mobo may not support it

I have found that with the FX chip a combination of increased FSB and Multiplier yielded the best and most stable results for me. Just keep in mind that the FSB will affect RAM, NB, HT, CPU.

First you want to turn off any power saving options prior to OCing (you can turn them back on later). Then slowing start increasing Mulitplier and FSB. If you turn the LLC up to high or extreme you should probably get somewhere around a 4.1-4.4ghz overclock without really touching the core volts. Remember to set most of your settings to manual, even if you don't actually adjust the settings (i've found that this has helped in the past).

After that it just becomes the slow methodical process to find the highest clock with lowest volts for stability. I wouldn't push core volts past 1.4v on that chip, lower would be even better. depending on your RAM speed you may need more voltage as well. good luck

i was able to get to 4.4ghz @1.38 volts runs stable ran for 8 hours with a max of 54c. gunna try go for abit more when i get time im kinda thinking it must go higher and have some more horse power in there 4.9ghz sounds good but i think ya might have to have some crazy water cooling loop to get that!!

i got to 4.9ghz but only by turning 4 cores off and needless to say it wasnt stable on air cooling.

 

[Karol401]

could you please give me photo of your bios settings you set?

 

[stew198269]

dont forget ur set up is different from mine so there for u might not get the same amount as me!! pluss all chips are different some work better some work worse but here ya go heres my settings....
should go in order to......

 

[stew198269]

another thing to whats ur cooling like in ur case do you have any? i.e.. case fans if so how many do u have good air flow? what psu are u using? if u have a stronge rig then u can get up to this setup which by the looks of it u do... if this is ur first time at overclocking then my best advice i could give u would be to watch as many videos on youtube to see how theyoverclock even if there not your own or same cpus or what ever just watching a intel system being overclocked is just the same as a amd system plus it gets u going on the same line!!
if u dont wanna do that then try my settings but like i said they may not work u might wanna try aim for around the 4ghz to start with just dont forget good cooling and try keep ur volts as low as u can .! (MORE VOLTS MEANS MORE HEAT)!

 

[Karol401]

This is crazy. I tried your settings but nothink.....nowhere near stable....well i didnt get bsod but the cores didnt work properly. I had to give it 1.476 volts to be stable....itsnt that insane? And its only 4.4ghz

 

[Karol401]

edit: 1.476 V and still not stable -.-

try load line calibration

you may have just gotten a bad chip unfortunately

 

[stew198269]

ill 2nd that mate will post another pic when i get back in town away at mom till saturday so if ya can wait... try putting everything back to default in bios and overclock to 4ghz with multi and change ya cpu volts to 1.34 and only turn off turbo core / spread spectrum and pci spectrum. see what happens then we work form there mate.

 

[Karol401]

I have no time to check it now but i will try it when i get back from school and report you back.

 

[Karol401]

this is my internet speed i think that download speed is ok but the upload isnt the best....so what now

ehm okay? and the upload is decent in comparison to what your D/L speed is

 

[stew198269]

random........

 

[Karol401]

so i guess its bad....yes/no?

 

[stew198269]

no ya internet is fine have no idea why u asking as this was meant to be about the overclock....?

 

[Karol401]

It was but somebody said to post internet and stuff that it could be the problem with the stream.

 

[stew198269]

internet has nothing to do with an overclock...... cant see who said that in this thread? but anyway do u still need help? did u sort ur overclock?

 

[Karol401]

no not yet will try the 4ghz on 1.34v you said today.

 

[Karol401]

Ok so i tried 4ghz with 1.34V and it is stable at least for 45 mins.....but i dont know the pc looks slowers....dont know maybe its just me.

 

[stew198269]

maybe up the volts a little to 1.36/7 its sounding like u have a bad chip tho. i think its f**ked up that they make them this way to me if u going to make a cpu least make them all the same with out there being a good and bad section..... have u tried to see if ur system is stable with just the defaults so just turbo core? whats ur psu? and u never did say about case cooling? do u have they system in a open space (on a desk) or shut away? (no air getting to it)

I've managed to get 4.40GHz (stable) with 1.44volts with the stock cooler.. i think stew is right, and you have a bad chip.. try contact amd?
