Hi there!
I just bought an AMD FX-8300 (upgraded from my FX-6300) and a Corsair H100i V2 (upgraded to my existing cooler).
I have a few questions about overclocking: what speed should I aim for? I mainly play games, but I also run demanding software like Photoshop.
I’m trying to figure out the best settings or the safe maximum speed for me.
Thanks for your help!
i would see if you can run all cores at 4.4-4.6 maybe around 4.7-4.8.
above that, might need voltage the h100 will only do with lots of noise, and not too common, as the 9590 is already running at 4.7
but then again, you could get lucky with a nice 5ghz chip ;-)
