I own an ASUS 970 Pro gaming/Aura MB and an FX 8300 CPU.
I understand the FX 8350 features a stock VCore of 1.375 volts at 4.0/4.2ghz, while my FX 8300 runs consistently at 4.1ghz across all cores without any power-saving features activated. My FX 8300 uses 1.308 volts and Prime95 FFT shows stable temperatures.

I’m currently awaiting a replacement for my case fan due to persistent clicking noises (please keep it quiet, Pure Wings 2 140mm).
When I adjusted to 1.368 volts at 4.2ghz, AI Suite 3 displayed a 65°C warning (red indicator), and Digi+Vram was set to an over-optimized phase.
CPU performance is solid: LLC Ultra High, Nb LLC High, Power Phase Control Extreme, Power Response Control Fast.
VCore is 1.31250 volts under Prime95 FFT (maximum heat).
Notoo NHD15 1000-1100rpm, be quiet Pure 2 140mm at 7 volts around 550-600 rpm or possibly my Noctua 140mm PWM fans (no longer available).

I recall playing Need for Speed Shift 2 unleashed at 4.2ghz; I only needed to set a low setting (1 or 2) to achieve 90-100fps. In ProjectCars, I didn’t need any adjustments compared to Intel and achieved 90-117fps.
My aim is to run at minimum 4.2ghz without turbo, possibly just the maximum speed under 1.400 volts while keeping my CPU cooler operating at low RPM (1000-1100rpm) at 7 volts, around 550-600 rpm.
Case fans should stay at 7 volts, running quietly or softly (up to 60%+ load).

Switching from extreme to optimized power phase control and raising VCore to 1.35-1.36 could help. If lucky, a VCore of 1.34 might work. Optimized power phase should then provide stability at 4.2ghz with Prime95 without causing overheating or voltage spikes.

Searching online revealed that achieving 4.2 stability is challenging; I’d prefer 4.1 to avoid any issues.
