having problem with amd fx8350
Hi everyone, I'm facing an issue with my PC. After overclocking, it keeps shutting down or giving me errors. On Windows 10, the HWMonitor shows the CPU running at idle between 37°C to 40°C even when I set it to 4.3 system crash. My specs are: ASUS 970 Pro Gaming/Aura New, FX 8350, 16GB DDR3 at 1600MHz, Corsair H80i in push and pull, Phantek Eclipse 400 case, 3 120mm fans front and 2 on top, Corsair CX750M power supply, and a GTX 760 with 2GB RAM.
I would increase your CPU voltage slightly. It seems you should aim for 1.45-1.46 volts at 4.5ghz. If it works fine at stock settings, maybe your voltage isn't high enough for this overclock. Also think about raising the northbridge by 0.05 volts if you haven't adjusted it yet.
Consider running a Prime95 test and monitor temperatures.
I don’t think the power supply is the problem when trying to overclock; it doesn’t seem like settings are fully optimized yet.
Each CPU is unique, but adding just 0.07 volts above the default 8350 voltage for 500 MHz isn’t much, especially if turbo boost is off. If you keep turbo on, you’ll need even higher voltage.
What was the increase in CPU voltage when you set it to 4.3GHz?
It seems the CPU isn't receiving enough voltage, yet you're still tempted to push it too hard on a CX750M. This model uses inexpensive capacitors and thin wires, making it unsuitable for overclocking. Invest in a better power supply before thinking about increasing its speed.
while adjusting the CPU voltage to 4.5 with 1.43 volts, I checked all four RAM slots and the system continued to operate without shutting down.
how much did you increase the cpu voltage during that setting? it was 1.35 volts.
Overclocking on a low-quality power supply is risky. It restricts overclocking capabilities and endangers the entire system. Any advice on selecting a better PSU?
