Hello I run an AMD AM3+ based system on GIGABYTE GA-78LMT-USB3 REV 6.0 with 175w+ 4+1 VRM heatsinks 80-90c&at least 175w power delivery.
Basically short, i want to upgrade to an 8 core but i need a little over 4ghz on the clock. The FX 8350 does the job but i oc'ed to 4,2ghz succcessfully on my 125w FX-6350 and i wanted to keep that clock boost, for older games, while getting 8 threads for vidoe editing and some multicore games. I achieved 4,3ghz which was ideal for ARMA 3 (single core game) but ran stably only at too high voltage - 1,4050v, so i want to achieve that in a more efficient bin CPU, and i do not want to buy FX-6300 now,I know this is a old platform etc. but i built this rig on a limited budget and always wanted a cheap 8 core.
I play DOOM 2016, Gzdoom, quake3, ut99,Battlefield 4 and 3, oldschool games, i do not need insane single thread but the smoothness of 4,2ghz makes me happy, and i can still play games at 4ghz, at 4,2 i just get less fps drops. I imagine the resources of a slightly tweaked for efficiency 8 core could help even in st titles simply due to offloading less bottleneck for my GPU (RX 470), just the level of performance from a 4,3ghz fx chip i find ideal for my needs.
I have a decent PSU and ARCTIC Freezer 13 CO cooler to get this job done (~200w dissipation)
I need to know if i can even run a 8 core on this board, as some say the people who say you can are liars.
(However there is some unique power delivery to this board compared to other m-atx,)
And maybe if they think that, we can calculate roughly to Tom's test on a 990fx atx board, with 160w near usage at 4,5ghz, could a 200mhz less of that happen on a 4+1 m-atx, or is it out of my reach.)
