So I Achieved an stable overclock of 4.6Ghz on my FX 8350 chip.
Tested it by playing GTA V for a couple hours at Max 1080p settings and CPU Core temps never went about 56 degrees Celsius
My settings
Cool'n'Quiet - Disabled
C1E - Disabled
SVM - Disabled
Core C6 State - Disabled
HPC Mode - Disabled
Amp Master Mode - Disabled
AMD Turbo CORE Technology - Disabled
CPU LLC - Ultra High (75%)
CPU Current Capability - 130%
CPU Ratio - 23.0
Core Voltage -1.380V
Temps - 19 °C Idle / 56 °C under Load
CPU Fan - Noctua NH-C12P SE14 140mm SSO 1200 RPM
PSU- Corsair HX 750 Gold Rated
GPU- R9 290X Sapphire Vapor-X OC 1100/1400
My question is how much more should I push the overclock on air with my particular CPU Fan. I feel like 4.6Ghz without actually changing the core voltage means I have a pretty good chip ( The default voltage was between 1.365-1.380 When I changed LLC and CPU Current Capability it seems to have stabilized it at 1.380). I know your supposed to increase the CPU Ratio until your computer is unstable or crashes and then increase the voltage by .010 and keep going until the core temps reach unsafe levels at around 62-68 °C. Whats causing some confusion on my part is I'm seeing on other forums and posts on here people can not reach a stable of overclock of 4.7-4.8 with out the core voltage being around 4.4-4.5 which would be a huge increase from where I'm currently at. The other problem I'm concerned about running into is my PSU not being able to supply enough Power with both my CPU and GPU overclocked. I have 750w to play with but my GPU a R9 290X is already overclocked to 1100/1400 so how much headroom do I have left?
