8350 overclocking tips from Asus M5A99FX
I'm struggling to achieve a stable over clock with my FX 8350 on a M5A99FX board. My goal is to get 4.5 GHZ from the chip with an air cooler. I'm using an Artic Freezer 13 CO as the cooler.
I've raised the clock multiplier but can't seem to get a stable addition to the voltage that's bootable. If I leave it in auto the PC will blue screen when running Prime 95 at temps of about 50 deg from Core Temp. Every time I try to raise the voltage to around 1.45 I can't boot past the BIOS.
I'm in the process of attempting smaller additions to the voltage, but want to make sure I'm not missing anything in the BIOS. I've disabled turbo core and all of the NB settings, but beyond that the only settings I've altered are the clock multiplier and the voltage. Should I be changing anything else? I'm using the DOCP mode in Ai Tweaker, should it be in manual?
1.45 is a bit too high; the 8320e can handle 4.5 around 1.4. Check if turning off Cool n Quiet helps, and consider using the "unleashing mode" feature.
