Hey guys. So I'm using a Hyper 212 cooler and planning to get a Noctua NHD15 tomorrow. Right now I'm running at 4.6 GHz overclock with a max Vcore of 1.56W. Is that too high? Anyone have tips on how to lower the Vcore while keeping my OC stable? Also, is there a safe Vcore range as long as the CPU stays under a certain temperature when fully loaded? I was thinking about an example with a 1.92W Vcore and a max temp of 65°C under full load—just for reference.
At 4.6Ghz the FX 8350 cpu should operate stably with a core voltage near 1.4v to 1.45v during a prime 95 stress test.
The maximum temperature it reaches at 1.56v should drop by roughly 10°C if the cooler is adequate, such as a Cole Cooler.
Currently running at 1.4v core at 4.5Ghz and 42°C on Windows desktop.
For context, the Vcore at 4.6Ghz is a bit too high after overclocking to that frequency.
The absolute upper limit for an FX-based CPU is 1.6v; exceeding it can lead to long-term damage.
Higher voltage and overclock speeds increase the peak temperature, causing rapid heating above the rated TDP without a suitable air or water cooler.
Would you like me to share your idle and load temperatures on Windows desktop, Cole?
Can't transmit photos but idle temperatures at 4.6 stayed between 41 and 45. What methods can help reduce the vcore to such low levels? Are turbo cores activated? I've never managed to maintain a stable OC on those vcore configurations. My motherboard is an MSI 990fxa gaming board with a Corsair 750 w power supply.
