I have the FX-8350 (with Corsair H60) and the Gigabyte GA-990XA-UD3 ATX AM3+ Motherboard.

I am looking to overclock my processor, but I have no idea how..

All help is appreciated!

Thanks,

Rohan

Here is a decent guide from on eof the users here. Its a great place to start for you

This is in regards to CLowerWeb

eww 1066... that was even slow for the phenoms.. TBH if would shoot for 1866-2000 ram... not only is there a possible instability with that.. but thats a huge bottleneck.. I can say that the speed of my chip switching from 1333 to 1866 had a huge impact and in games gave me 4fps for a ram upgrade thats huge. I can't imagine how slow your rig is as from 1066 to 1333 was a decent jump

Here's my setup:
FX-8350, stock fan, stock settings
ASRock 970DE3/U3S3 (770 chipset, SB700 south bridge), BIOS version 1.6 (current version, I flashed it immediately)
G.Skill Ripjaws DDr3 1066 CL7, 8GB (2x4 GB) dual channel, stock everything on that too

Any ideas why I can't even keep it stable for 2 minutes with everything stock? Did I get a chip with bad cores? Thanks for any tips!

That board only supports 95W versions of the 8 Core Processors. @ 125W for the stock settings it's most likelly overloading the VRM's and causing your errors.
I'd recommend to either return that board, or disable Turbo and run the lowest voltage you can for 4.0Ghz. You should be able to get under 90W by lowering the voltage.
Good luck.

I have been able to add stability by increasing the voltage to the cpu/nb, have you tried bumping that up a bit?
Also , heat is your biggest enemy, make sure you have adequate airflow over the critical components on the motherboard.

I tried bumping the CPU voltage up to 1.4v (I got that figure from roughly the highest value it pulled by itself) just to see, no change. I actually had a reboot upon starting Prime95, the instant it started (I'm on Windows 8, so I assume it was a BSoD - it doesn't seem to show BSoDs in Win 8, rather skips them and reboots). After this happened, I turned the voltage down a bit to 1.35v and the cores failing in P95 started again. It could be the memory speed (it passes Memtest). I tried bumping it up to 1333 and saw some major stability issues within Windows and random reboots again (which was disappointing), although I did leave the memory voltage at 1.5v.

I'm new to overclocking. Never done it before. In this case, I'm not even overclocking, just trying to get it stock stable. I have no idea what I'm doing, and I'm afraid to mess around too much with stuff. I didn't try bumping up the NB voltage - could that be what caused the stability problems when I took the processor to 1.4v? Also, what would you suggest doing with the memory? It's half decent memory, so I would have expected it to go to 1333 no problem, but I really don't know what I'm doing.

On Newegg it claims to support a max CPU wattage of 140w, although yes I do realize that my processor isn't listed there (which I didn't realize until after I got the board).

I'm trying to get the RAM to 1333, but the system becomes unstable in Windows @ 1.5v. Should I adjust the voltage too along with it? It also seems to want to force me up to CL9, is that a good trade-off?

Which one do you suggest? I got this board for $70 and my budget really won't allow for any more than that right now.

On Newegg it claims to support a max CPU wattage of 140w, although yes I do realize that my processor isn't listed there (which I didn't realize until after I got the board).
I'm trying to get the RAM to 1333, but the system becomes unstable in Windows @ 1.5v. Should I adjust the voltage too along with it? It also seems to want to force me up to CL9, is that a good trade-off?

Have you had this board long?

I would send it back as its not good enough to run the 8350 chip yet alone overclock it. I dont care if newegg got this down as a 140w its just not good enough for you man. 770 chipset is too old for it

You have no heatsink on the vrms and i think its only 4 +1 power phase on it which isnt good for overclocking anyhow

Do yourself a favour and ditch this peice of horse manure and buy yourself a decent board

whoever recommended you this board needs shooting!

After switching to AMD IBT libraries that's the only result I get, even at settings that I know are stable before switching and which gave me the right result before swtiching.

By switching you mean from the old IBT to avx ibt?

if so then its common knowledge that AVX IBT takes alot more volts to be stable than the crappy old one
