I don't use this oc profile all the time because i do not really need it.i did it only for fun and because many people said it won't work so i had to try.it works and you can use it but i don't really see the reason other than "yea i got my cpu to 5ghz" even at stock 3.3 it's enough for meĪlright, so I can completely understand why most people strongly urge against OCing without disabling Turbo.
something called amd tweaker if i am not mistaken.i am not at home right now.maybe i'll check when i get home and come back with a definite answer.ĮDIT: it is called AmdMsrTweaker_1.1 so check it out There is a program that i use to overclock it. The way I tested it(not saying it is good or bad) is just ocing without turbo towards how much i want mu turbo to be and then i made those settings as my turbo and started checking with occt on 2 cores and started decreasing in voltage until it got unstable then i bumped it up a bit.although it behaves a bit weird it still somehow works.(it depends on how much load the processor is on.it can get from 5.0 to anything between 4.4 but not lower.so not only 2 states.there are at least 7) I have an FX8300 OC-ed with turbo at 5.0ghz and with all cores at 4.4. If nothing else I guess I play the try shit till it works method. I guess any information and help I can get would be much appreciated.
But then to test it should I just be running Prime95 or OCCT with only one thread? Or try to disable 3 modules and then run the standard OC stability tests as it will still turbo with 2 cores but just not to the full 20.5 multi? I understand that the Turbo frequency can be changed with the bclk as the multi is locked at 20.5 for Turbo iirc. Unless I missed it when I read through the thread, I didn't see any real way to test the stability of the Turbo OC or any real steps to it either. Computer Restore's guide on was the first time I saw this sort of OC mentioned.
I was trying to find some more info on OCing with turbo enabled to help boost the weak single core performance of the FX CPUs. I have had my 8350 OC'd to 4.65 GHz with a multi of 18, bclk of 2.57 and Core V of 1.40 and I seem to be at the limit of my NH-D14 cooler.
