So I'm trying to take my cpu back up to 4.5ghz / 4.6ghz, which I had it at before my motherboard died. But for the life of me I cannot get it to be stable now, which I have the same configuration as before. There is no new hardware as I RMA'd the motherboard and they repaired the one that was originally mine.
CPU: AMD FX 8370 4.0ghz stock
Mother board: AMD Fata1ity killer 990fx
Cpu Cooler: Noctua NH-d15
Overclock settings:
CPU Frequency: 200
PCIE Frequency: 100
Processor Maximum Frequency 6300 mhz
North Bridge Maximum Frequency 6200 mhz
Processor Maximum Voltage 1.5500 V
CPU Frequency Multiplier x22.5 4500mhz
CPU Voltage 1.3625
NB Frequency Multiplier x11.0 2200mhz
CPU NB Voltage 1.1875v
HT Bus Speed Auto
HT Bus Width 16 bit
DRAM Frequency is 1600 at 9-9-9-24
DRAM Voltage is 1.500v
CPU Voltage Offset +0mV
NB Voltage 1.10V
HT Voltage 1.200V
CPU VDDA Voltage 2.56V
PCIE VDDA Voltage 1.81v
I can not for the life of me figure out why it's failing every stress test that I run. I've tried OCCT, Prime95 and IBT. IBT and OCCT report an error / Instability respectively. Prime95 just freezes my system. I'm quite new to overclocking but I've had it at 4.5ghz stable before with the same hardware. I was able to game, stream, video encode, etc.. with no blue screens or anything and passed all of my tests with out even hitting 50c under load.
Any idea on what I should do? I'm quite clueless so reading guides don't really help me from where I'm stuck at. Any and all help is appreciated, I would like to try to get 4.5 or 4.6hz stable as soon as possible.
*Solved: I don't know how to mark as solved. But due to CPUTIN temps at 4.5ghz since I could only get it stable at 1.4v for some reason, I went down to 4.4ghz at 1.362v. At 4.5, 1.4v I was getting a max of 72c CPUTIN in HWMONITOR, and with 4.4ghz at 1.362 I don't go past 60c. Thank you all for your help.
