You might be seeing the VRM over-temp throttling at 4.8+ GHz. and this can cause instability, though by design it is not suppose to. Run F-Stream while you are at 4.8 GHz. stress testing and see if the VRM number of phases and Vcore drop...

That's cheating using cold room air to OC higher ! IME the 990FX Fatlity Pro has a very good VRM circuit but by design you need to use LLC to correct for the very high current draw when the CPU goes from modest load to max load such as...

d1nky- Are you OC'ed to 7.0 GHz. on air yet?

4.6+ GHz., P95 stable is excellent! The sweet spot seems to be in the range of 4.5-4.7 GHz. P95 stable but some folks get to 4.8 GHz. P95 stable. Those folks who don't care about P95 stable sometimes are able to run a little higher and...

I don't know about the Fatality mobo being a collectible but perhaps? Yeah there are many minute issues with RAM not following industry standards exactly or the stds. being a little too broad in scope thus resulting in issues as the...

Good to hear your FX-8350 is running well @ 4.4 GHz. They are fun! I'm currently using V1.91B supplied by Asrock Tech. I'm waiting to hear what RAM issues MacClipper had and if it cured the problem.

Quote:Originally Posted by d1nky well I had problems with windows not fully recognising the 8350, had to do fresh install. im currently folding, but at the weekend ill probably be doing some overclocking and testing it out with...

Don't know why Windoze would need to recognise the FX-8350? It really doesn't need to know what CPU is installed unless it's installing some CPU specific driver? IME the FX-8350 is a good CPU and very stable even when properly...

Yes this is just a straight forward change as long as you have a BIOS version from V1.70 or later installed - which you do. For Win 8 use you want the latest V1.90 or beta...

Keep tweaking !
