The Amd Fx8350 is unable to locate a stable clock.
The Amd Fx8350 is unable to locate a stable clock.
I recently attempted to overclock my FX8350. I immediately started by watching a YouTube video about a similar CPU; after roughly two hours, I somehow achieved a clock speed of 4.3 with a voltage of 1.4125 or something like that. Although not ideal, it functioned and I didn’t perform any further tests because it worked. I played games for about four hours straight before going to sleep. When I woke up and turned on my PC, it started up and after around 45 seconds it froze repeatedly. Now, whenever I try overclocking—even at stock settings manually—it either fails to pass Windows or causes my login to freeze. The only solution I have is to revert the settings back to "auto" and run at stock, which still feels terrible for gaming. Sometimes I experience around 20 frames per second drops, but the clock never fell below 60. In short, I’m hoping to find someone who can assist with overclocking or suggest better starting points and settings. Or perhaps a helpful guide tailored to my CPU and motherboard would be useful. I searched for resources but found none that match my setup, like clicking the 8350. Thanks in advance.

I once used that board with an FX 8320.
The VRM seemed too weak to manage my CPU even at standard clocks and voltages.
I had to turn off turbo and lower the voltage to around 1.125v to prevent the VRMs from overheating.
Even with some airflow from my Noctua NH-D14, the heatsink temperature reached over 90°C.
It looks like you should consider a better board if you plan to overclock.
