Some1 emailed the amd rep and they replied, these chips can actually take up to 90 degrees before the socket will get damaged. But amd recommends 62 max

Hey, I know this sounds stupid, but have you tried plugging in the 7850, get a display, go into bios settings and set the main video to Onboard rather then PCI-E 16x? Cuz i know some boards default bios it comes with will default the...

I had a 3570k... it was awful at overclocking... And i must say it's a really boring chip. You overclock through multiplier, throw volts at it and see how high it goes. Mine ended at 4.6 GHz @ 1.36v, even at 1.45v I couldn't get 4.7GHz...

Hi, I've been playing around with the fx8350 alot on my m4a89gtd, there is an LLC option but it doesnt work. Let me suggest to you to try overclocking through bus speed instead of multiplier. It really helped and reduced my vdroop...

have you tried overclocking the 7850? You'd get around stock 7950 performance @ 1250 mhz I'd say its a terrible upgrade for the cost... if you were planning to save but why not try xfire 7850?

I think I should win them because I never played Crysis 1, 2 or 3. Nor have I ever touched Bioshock or any of its counterparts and damn... I'm missing out

Throttling occurs for me at 69 degrees+ Shuts down at around 75 Maximum AMD Recommended core temp is 62 But it was confirmed by amd the sockets are fine till 90+
