I began testing the capabilities of my new FX 8350 with AMD Overdrive, which reached 4.9ghz during a freeze. Temperatures were around 60°C, with a peak of 72°C (not the stock cooler). It runs at 990x SLI gaming, uses an EVGA 1060 SC 3GB graphics card. I observed the vcore fluctuating a lot but mostly staying near 1.5v with a max of 1.584, which seems quite high. I only monitored it with hwmonitor and not with CPU-Z simultaneously. The BIOS was reset to optimized settings. Is this an overvoltage setting? What should I do? I aim to clock it at 4.3 or 4.4 because I believe the cooler can't handle more.

In BIOS, skip SW OC settings. 1.58v is excessively high, even at 5GHz.

when using the bios, it indicates an issue with booting reset optimized above 4.2ghz. I attempted various adjustments in the advanced settings, but the problem persists.

Something is wrong there. At 4.2 GHz it shouldn't even break into 1.4v. Did you turn off all power saving modes and turbo ? Overclocking by multiplier ?
Does that MB have LLC (Load Line Calibration) ?

it's not even OC with bios reset to optimized it runs at 1.45. yes it has its auto at the moment. everything else seems normal. 4019 mhz boosts to 4.2
edit: i clocked it at 4.3 ghz with everything disabled and LLC set to normal nad vcore set to +0.00v. when i launch prime95 it jumps from 1.476v to 0.924v and clocks drop to 1.4ghz. is that normal?
edit 2: turns out it just throttles at 61 62C. I turned bach optimized because i can't get LLC just right. what does stable voltage mean?
edit 3: it's the VRM. It's overheating. I've hit a dead end.
