Oc'd Fx-8350 performs exceptionally well during prime 95 runs, matching its performance in games.
Oc'd Fx-8350 performs exceptionally well during prime 95 runs, matching its performance in games.
I just purchased and assembled a PC with the following specs:
1. AMD FX-8350 Black Edition Vishera 8-Core (overclocked to 4.8ghz)
2. ASRock Gaming Fatal1ty 990FX Killer
3. Western Digital Blue Edition 2 TB HD
4. Samsung 850 EVO 500GB 2.5-Inch SATA III Internal SSD
5. CORSAIR Hydro Series H55 watercooler
6. CX850M PS(850 watts)
7. EVGA GeForce GTX 780 SC
This machine is handling Witcher 3 exceptionally well—ultra settings are off, shadows are minimal, and it runs smoothly. However, when I attempt to run Prime 95, the PC freezes after just about ten seconds. Is this normal behavior? Should I lower my overclocking if Prime 95 fails, or is it okay as long as I avoid Prime 95?
P.S. According to HWmonitor, my temperatures range between 28-32°C, and they never exceed 45°C even under load.
Your OC isn't working well with your friend. I suggest considering another program instead of Prime95... you might want to try Aida64 or IntelBurnTest, which supports AMD FX processors. Your setup is good, but it seems your CPU OC isn't stable and you might need to increase the Vcore if temperatures permit. Otherwise, you may need to reduce the OC a bit.
I’d definitely recommend testing another stress tester... Prime95 is unreliable, especially with different versions, and it puts a huge load on your system that’s unlikely to happen. Aida64 appears to be a solid choice for OCing, and unless you’re obsessed with the absolute best possible result, we can...
Your OC isn't holding up well, my friend. I’d suggest considering another program instead of Prime95... you might want to try Aida64 or IntelBurnTest, which supports AMD FX processors.

I’d definitely recommend testing another stress tester—Prime95 is unreliable, especially with different versions, and it puts an excessive load on your system. Aida64 appears to be a solid choice for OCing, and as long as you’re not overly focused on finding the absolute perfect, rock-solid OC, we can definitely work through this.
I’m familiar with OCing your CPU with the H55i and similar Corsair Hydro coolers. Feel free to reach out if you have more questions—I’ll follow up and help you reach that ideal OC level.
Let me know how things are coming along, and I’ll follow up soon.
Thank you for your assistance! I kept switching to Aida64, but the issue persisted. I removed my northbridge and overclocked it. I didn't adjust the vcore on the CPU from the 1.475 setting, but it's now performing well in Aida64. I'm still at 4.8 and have run for an hour without any problems. Thanks again.

Appreciate your support! I changed to Aida64 but the issue persisted. After removing my northbridge and overclocking, I kept the same vcore from my original setup. It's now running smoothly in Aida64 at 4.8, and I've successfully used it for an hour without any problems. Thanks again!
No problem my friend! I'm happy you found a solution. Feel free to reach out if you need anything else—I'll be here to help. Happy holidays!
