I need help on how to properly overclock my cpu (FX 8350) on Gigabyte GA 990FXA UD3 REV 4.0. I want a step by step procedure on how to do it properly.

interested to see replies for this. I have this board and have only really managed 4.6ghz stable with mine.

Much depends on your cooling setup. I'm going to assume you're using an air cooler or a midrange AIO.
Set multiplier to 22
Core voltage to 1.45v
RAM to XMP
Advanced CPU features: disable CPU Unlock, C1E, C6, APM, Cool n Quiet
LLC to extreme
Run IBT AVX. Pass? Lower voltage, run again. Fail? Lower multiplier, run again. Find a sweet spot for multiplier/voltage, every chip and cooling setup is different.

Thank you p4inkill3r,
I guess I got the sweet spot you mention, I did everything you wrote on the thread, actually my goal is to reach 5 GHZ CPU clock frequency, I think I might need to buy a water cooling kit(closed loop) to attain this goal. Right now I am using this air cpu cooler (http://www.microcenter.com/product/411580/HYPER_T4_CPU_COOLER). I want to buy this closed loop water cooling kit (http://www.microcenter.com/product/440025/Nepton_240M_Liquid_CPU_Water_Cooling_System).

Forget the Nepton 240 - I've got the Eisberg with 360 radiator and temps seems to be fine but nothing over 4.6Ghz is really gamestable.

For Me the problem seems to be that the coils betwen the Socket and the MOSFETs shot up to over 90°C when I'm overclocking.

heres a video showing pretty much everything but on a different board but same thing

again, the only difference is leave llc on auto changing to anything else could means lots of failed stability
pretty much this except on my ud3 rev 4 i leave llc to auto cause for some reason its not stable on extremeOriginally Posted by p4inkill3r

Maybe - but you're on the wrong board I think (asustec?)
"For Me the problem seems to be that the coils betwen the Socket and the MOSFETs shot up to over 90°C when I'm overclocking."
And this is on my GA-990FXA-UD3 rev.4 and I think he would get this problem too cause he's got the same board.

Right now, I'm at 4.5 and she's stable. I did a prime test this morning, and left it on all day. I just got back, No problems. Running cool at 45C, steady. Now to try 4.6. Think I'll wait till this weekend. I hit it last night, but couldn't find that sweet spot.

How much cpu volt do you give for 4.5?Originally Posted by sb43

I was thinking I was stable with prime but when I tried IBT and OCCT saw the I wasn't.Originally Posted by sb43
I have achieved what I've benn looking for. I may try 4.6, but for the moment, she's stable, cool and happy! Thank you so much P4inkill3r!

I have nearly the exact same setup as you with a custom loop (240mmX45mm CPU only rad) and can't hit 4.8GHz (unless it's winter). However, even if you go big on the CPU cooling your VRM's are going to be the thermal bottleneck on that board.
LLC doesn't matter much, as long as you are familiar with the over/under volt. Either your a little under at medium and torture your VRM's by turning up the voltage a bit, or you run a little over on extreme and still torture your VRM's. It's all the same output voltage.
I've even put some nice Fujipoly XR-M, a dedicated fan, and tightened the torques on my VRM heatsink which lets me get to 1.55v, but that's about it. Anymore and I'll start seeing 90c on the VRM's....with all my cooling mods. Then again...now that winter is rolling in it might be time to go back to my 4.8 24/7.
I should end it by saying maybe you'll get a nice 8350, but I've heard from more than one source that the latest ones are poorly binned. Rumor has it that the E's are where it's at right now for nice binning. I wish I could buy a bunch and test...
It's probably not possible to get 5GHz with that board.Originally Posted by aqe040466
