Sorry if I Butcher this guys.

Ok first off specs:
Fxa 990 Gaming mobo MSI
Fx 8370
CX 750M Corsair (sad face)
EVGA 970 SSC
H100 V2 Corsair

So It seems to be pretty stable for about 2 Days I have the

Bus is at 220
CPU Multiplier at x22.0 (7 - 22.5) 4.85ghz. Does CPU-z have a screen shot ?

Voltage CPU to +1.8
CPU to NB +.01
NB +.44? I believe Its what most people from what i have read end up to Sorry if i did get that right
I have tested it and with max load prime 95 I hit 45c Respectively . On Intel burn (strangely) I hit 40c Respectively

I can play Tom Clancy The Division and for some reason this game max me sometimes and I hit 80% a lot on the cpu load but i never seem to crash or have any thing that seems the computer is unstable i have played all kind of games and have had the CPU maxed a bit hitting around 34-37c in Temps. Testing this with HWiNFO64 i hit max 87c on Aux , 49c on Motherboard , T1 38c Max

Prime 95 failed a core around 2 min and then the next like a min after but i never get more then that and they all the rest stay up . I can get 4 runs on Intel burn then the program tells me it failed .


Ok so my question is I can do everything fine I know it doesn't show its stable but It seems really stable for the most part should i just keep it where its at . Also I am pretty sure i can get 4.7 stable in prim 95 and Intel burn. I have already got it stable with 4.6Ghz

Again Very sorry guys if this seems like a failed post and what not. Any advice on this would be kewl. I would prefer to keep it at 4.85Ghz I am not to sure of what my limits are here i have ready quite a few forums but I am still uncertain in some degree. Especially with my PSU

Sorry i have a picture of it
Cpu Voltage is at +.18
Cpu-NB +.01
NB +1.44

Well thats what HWiNFO64 Gave me I just posted the Max Temps
Also Sorry if I seem Kinda floppy with my posts.

I am not sure what you are asking...
As to the overclock, if it is stable and the temperatures and voltages are safe there is nothing to worry about. I would keep it as it is.
As with high CPU usage - the FX83xx series are decent processors but are not hugely fast - think around Intel Core i5 territory at most. Unless the CPU is holding you back or causing you issues, stick with it. This explains the 80% load.
For the PSU, I don't think you are drawing more than 450w at most. This should be safe even with your current PSU. If you were to go SLI or make your computer more power hungry, I would think of upgrading it if your budget allowed it.

Well Honestly I was more afraid of the Mobo I really am not sure of what it can handle I have read people getting all different types of voltage and thresh Hold temps with it. I actually like the 8370 used to have an 8350 but some mother board defect fried it lol. I just wish amd would come up with a new architecture and new line of processors qq.

I guess another good question would be should I try to up the voltage some more to see if i can get it stable enough where intel burn or prime 95 sees it stable ? Seeing as you think It might be safe Keep doing the small incriments or just keep it where its at?

^ they are doing , zen is due consumer wise late Feb/early march.

Your aux temps are high , assuming that's the nb.
I know 990 boards are specced into the 90s temp wise but that's still more than I'd like to see personally.

What's your actual CPU voltage showing in cpu-z & hwinfo when you're stress testing ??

Well i didn't want to hit 1.6V cuz I was kind of unsure where The safe point was. Its staying at 1.592V Max. isn't zennis There new apu ?
I doubt there going to make any more un clocked for a while which would be a bummer. IBT lasted 3 Minutes lol But at least my computer doesn't crash Or freeze up.

To me the safe point is really 1.55v mate,your board is only a 6+2 phase (same design as the old 970 gaming) & in all honestly while its good ,its not great.
4.5-4.6ghz at 1.48v or so is where I would have drawn the line at the absolute max.
These boards have a nasty habit of just going kaput & the memory controller dying when you push them too far (which is what I think youre doing with yours personally)

well if u think its to much then ill push it back down
I honeslty dont know where the actual max the board can take Ive read to many forums they all seem a bit vauge Ill just bump it back down to 1.5V it can go stable at 1.4v on 4.6 Ghz and the NB back down to about 1.38. Ill let u know

Also this was on max load for about 10 min I did restart it towards the end of that time by accident :/ But those are still accurate.

ok i am retesting on 4.7Ghz with +.15V
I also knocked the NB down to +1.38

Cpu-Z Telling me core Voltage at 1.552 - 1.560.
Tell me if this is at least ok It did pass the IBT twice. :/ lol I loaded up Evga Precision X and I blue screend with Driver Corruption Expool GG Errors
But it did indeed pass the tests

Also How many passes / stress level should I Put IBT to .

Thanks for all your help so far man.
