Getting help with overclocking an fx-83500.
It's your first attempt at overclocking! You're trying to boost your AMD FX-8350 CPU with AMD's Overdrive feature. I've seen you try it before and it's causing issues like screen flickering. Could you share more details about what's happening?
Make sure your BIOS is current and reset the CMOS if needed. Open Bios, navigate to AI Overclock tuner, and configure it for D.O.C.P. This will automatically adjust your system bus and ratio with the RAM you're using. Perform a stress test to confirm stability at the standard frequency as your starting point for overclocking. Install AIDA64 and HWMonitor, placing them on your desktop side by side. In the AIDA64 Tools menu, choose the stress test option. Check the CPU, FPU, and Cache boxes, then run the test for 10 minutes. Halt the test if temperatures exceed 80°C. At the end of the session, capture screenshots and upload them to your preferred hosting platform or use IMIGUR to share the files.
Make sure your BIOS is current and reset the CMOS if needed. Open Bios, navigate to AI Overclock tuner, and configure it for D.O.C.P. This will adjust the system bus and ratio together with your RAM settings. Perform a stress test to confirm stability at the default frequency as your starting point for overclocking. Install AIDA64 and HWMonitor, placing them on your desktop side by side. In the AIDA64 Tools menu, choose the stress test option. Check the CPU, FPU, and Cache fields, then run the test for 10 minutes. Halt the test if temperatures exceed 80°C. At the end of the session, capture screenshots and upload them to your preferred hosting platform or use IMIGUR to share the files. Once you receive this data, we can proceed with the overclocking process. Avoid any random modifications in Bios or GPU settings during this stage.
