Hello there,
I've attempted to push my AMD FX8350 to higher speeds, adjusting many settings in the BIOS and reaching up to 4.83 ghz. The processor maintains a stable temperature of around 50°C during intense gaming sessions. However, I'm experiencing random freezes while playing games or even streaming on YouTube. My longest gaming session lasted about 45 minutes, while the shortest was nearly a minute. I suspect the issue might be related to the power supply's performance for the CPU. I'm unsure how much power the CPU actually requires and haven't upgraded my components yet, fearing potential GPU damage.
🙁
Could someone assist me with this?
Details:
Amd fx 8350 4ghz (standard)
Evga GTX 970 (overclocked slightly)
Corsair H80i
Corsair 1000W power supply
Sabretooth 990FX R2.0
Kingston 1TB SSD
Samsung Evo M 240GB

search for the optimal overclock configuration beginning at the factory speed, apply a 95 update to the system, increment the setting by one at each step, and when instability appears, revert to the most stable previous value.

Did you perform a stress test? It seems your OC isn't holding up well. You should boost the core voltage during overclocking to provide your CPU with sufficient power. These CPUs can reach 1.4, which is safe for handling without damage.

Before proceeding, ensure the system undergoes stress testing with prime95 version 26.6 and monitor temperatures using speedfan. It seems a higher voltage might be necessary for stable overclocking.

If you lower the overclock of the GPU, performance may decrease while stability and power consumption typically improve.

I need to know how long you plan to keep the test running before proceeding.

What occurs when you lower the GPU's clock speed?
If I set it to 4.34 Ghz it stops freezing, which likely means it requires less energy.

Less voltage is needed when the overclock is lower. If you must raise the voltage, keep it under 10%. Beyond that, it might harm your CPU.

I allowed prime95 to run but it crashed my computer after 20 minutes...

It's definitely an unstable OC if it crashes, but sometimes just prime95 will trigger an error and that's still an unstable version. I recommend adjusting your clock slightly lower.
