Well, I made the jump. she's running smooth as silk at 4.9. I've been talking back and forth to my new friend dixson01974 all day (He actually made me do the jump, so to speak). I played with the voltages a couple times because she wouldn't stay stable. but Prime is still running, and I played Crysis 3 while it was running, and no hiccups. So far, so good!



For a "Novice" rig builder, I'm actually quite proud of myself!

I modified the side cover to have a 120mm 1600 rpm fan blowing over my 2 video cards

I HAVE A 5 FAN REGULATOR, AND i JUST PUT 2 FANS IN THE BACK OF THE mObO TO KEEP THE VRM COOL. IT STAYS ABOUT 45-50 UNDER LOAD. sorry about the caps, I wasn't looking. I have every fan input filled and then some. LOL

NB speed only effect memory bandwith when you are running high speed ram.
High? I recommended only a 200mhz OC there. Stock is 2600mhz remember?? Or am I missing something?
Yes 2600 is stock, but why add extra heat for no gain?

here are my temps, I've been keeping my eyes on that too. But she's nice and cool, even under load.

Well, now you guy's are scaring me. I backed it down to 4.8, lowered my Voltage, still running sweet and fast though.

I find very strange that, such great boards like Asus Sabertooth R1.0, get killed by one overclocked FX octacore. Must be a revision or cooling problem, its suposed to be a top tier board.

I have one average GA-990FXA UD5 rev 3.0 that i got in 2013 and since new, run my FX chip at 4.6 in the early days, and 4.9 for a year now.

Also have N.B and H.T overclocked, all my voltages are well above stock. I must admit that i have some proper to excellent cooling all around, VRM, North Bridge, CPU. And a conditioned ambient.

It must have been a temperature in excess that killed those boards.

I do like the Asus brand. Good boards.

sb43 if you can cool your hardware, you wont toast anything.

Keep it cool and it won't burn up anything. I ran an 8350 at almost 4.9 for more than a year on air, not long after these came out, and the early Visheras ran much hotter than any that they sell today. It looked like you were running 4924 at 1.44v on an 8320. I had to run my 8350 at 1.482v to reach a stable 4851. These chips are so much better now than when they were first introduced, and any good motherboard can do what was a real challenge two years ago.

Thanks Brother, Like I said, (I know I'm running "air") but this thing runs remarkably cool.. I've custom modified my case, (and it looks good, like it was made that way), and my entire system is under some sort of "heavy air flow". I was running an install on a game, and saw the temps getting up there, and it freaked me out, so I backed her down to 4.8. Running the install again, and the temps are low and steady at 28 -30C now.
Would you be so kind as to tell me all your bios settings, and I'll try those at 4.9. I'll show you my reference chart that I made for 4.7

From what I have heard the R1.0 Saberkitty wasn't the greatest board. But I am running a lower tier board than even that. 5.0 8370 @ 1.475 V on an ASUS M5A99FX.

All of the settings in that chart looked fine. I don't run that 8350 anymore, but when I did, it was on a Gigabyte 970A-UD3. The CPU was set to run at 4851 MHz (231 BCLK * 21). I set the vcore at 1.4925 with LLC on, and the actual voltage was about 1.482. I lowered the HT Link settings to get the speed under 2000, and the RAM was DDR3-1333 run slightly overclocked at 1476 MHz. I don't own any of those parts anymore.

When overclocking, especially on octocore Visheras, there's no one size fits all. They're all very different in what they're capable of, and sometimes it takes trial and error to see what will work. That 8350 I had wouldn't even boot at 24*200 and less than 1.5v, and even then it wasn't stable. But it was at 231*21 and 1.482.

Well I tweaked something that I didn't know that I shouldn't. The setting is only on the Sabertooth and Crosshair VI mobos.

EDIT
@ sb43
Your temps are good. I wouldn't really worry about it.
