Why is AMD so based anons ? I OC'd my FX-8320 from 3.5 to

Because its cheapshit for poor people.

I hope Zen delivers.

A cheap 8 core with Intel-like performance would be awesome.

>I OC'd my FX-8320
For only a million watts

>>52884530
Intel is for manchilds that don't have a clue about hardware and buy prebuilds.

>>52884517
I got my FX-8120 to 4.6GHz stable easily. the only problem is heat dissipation on my shitty motherboard's power delivery. It's running fine at 4.1GHz (undervolted) for now.

>>52884556
Changed nothing on my voltage.

Also, even if it did, come on, are you compting the cents on your electricity bill ?

>>52884587
Since I blew the dusf off my computer, my cpu is always at around 40°C while playing. Shit ton of fans tho, but it's silent.

>>52884570
oh /g/.. you can always reply with something more stupid to a stupid comment

>>52884594
you might be able to drop voltage below stock for even better temps. I'm >>52884587

>>52884625
he started :^)

>>52884633
I just ran the software, guess it selected the best values anyway but thanks.
My PSU must be a 600W so I can't push it too far anyway.

>not overclocking from the BIOS

>>52884656
the autoclock tool is nice for a stable base, but you should be able to push it much farther.
that 4.1GHz clock speed I got from that tool, then I undervolted it. Stock voltage got to 4.6 (manually) before the motherboard thermals became uncomfortable for me. no stability issues at all.

FX-8350 here. So seriously what will you be able to do faster now that your old clockspeed just held you back from?

>>52884772
Well at first I did it for Arma 3. Helped, but still not perfect so I got a refund, this gay is optimized with the ass.

I also am a lot into vector drawing, so I guess it will help but I might be wrong.

>>52884761
I don't think I need to push it much farther. But if I did, I should do it directly from BIOS ? How do I undervolt it ? How do I know what voltage is good ?

>>52884772
Not OP, I've noticed bottlenecking in GTA V in FX 8-series CPUs if they aren't clocked high enough. for productivity? some CPU encoding or other strange tasks, I guess.

>>52884656
should i try it with stock cooler?

>>52884843
Oh I didn't thought about GTA V. But I guess my GPU is bottlenecking me (290x) not the CPU.

>>52884861
Never let a stock cooler on an AMD CPU son. Get a cooler master. Really.

You guys with FX cpu's might want to consider reading these articles

It's about using Process Lasso to control enhance CPU performance. I would try it but don't game much and the games I do use run fine although I might mess with it on emulation.

>>52884874
it is still fine after 4 years. i don't think memes are real gramps.

>>52884836
look up some overclocking tutorials for reference.

what I personally did was keep moving the voltage down 1 tick in the BIOS, then booting into windows and running Prime 95 for a while. If you don't get crashing, keep lowering the voltage. Once you crash during a P95 test, move back up 1 tick in the BIOS and you should be stable. I'd recommend running the test for at least 30 minutes each time, and confirming the last settings you use by running P95 for at least an hour.

too bad Intel is better

from 2.66 to 4.0GHz in less time than that

>>52884904
So how deaf are you exactly?

>>52884556
An AMD CPU uses less voltage per core that an Intel CPU, get butt fucked faggot.

>>52884921
>loud fan noise
this is an also meme. it is fine. shit, you should hear my old intel computer, motherfucker was like a jet engine.

>>52884922
So? Totally meaningless since they both use completely different architectures.

>>52884904
Well, as you want, it's your computer after all. >>52884905
thanks

>>52884921
AMD stock coolers are far superior to Intel's examples (AMD accounted for higher TDP). Even before the Wraith cooler, AMD's top CPU cooler was an all copper base with heatpipes.

>>52884945
>this is an also meme
Except it's not. I built a PC for a friend with an 8350 in it, and he was too much of a cheapskate to get a proper cooler. Well, after two days he called and told me I need to get him a proper one. The old AMD stock cooler is loud as shit, and that's a fact. At least they made a new cooler now which is supposedly better and more silent.

>>52885003
AMD's default fan profile for CPUs is very aggressive, might be worth tweaking if you can handle the temps.

Just can't seem to get it stable at 4.8ghz (then again my mobo isn't built to handle this).

So, I am OP.
I had to refund Arma 3, because even after OC, I couldn't run it at 60FPS online.

I have a FX-8320 OC at 4.2Ghz and a R9 290x.

I heard that like all NVidia Tech games ever, Arma is made to run better on NVidia GPU. Is that true ?

>>52885099
Not sure, but ARMA3 runs like crap on even the most expensive Intel/NVidia systems

>>52885099

ARMA is horrifically single threaded - it will only run well on Intel cpus and only highly clocked ones at that - having more threads does nothing so you have to brute force it.

>>52885003
why the fuck can't i hear "DEEZ LOUD ASS NOISEEEEES"?
i mean what is noise for you guyz?

>>52885142
Maybe you're actually hearing impaired?

>>52885131
>>52885137
Okay that's what I thought, good refund.

On the other hand, I thought that Alien Isolation (AMD tech) is running like a charm on a lot of computers.

I don't think any motherboard is built to handle that.

>>52885151
i don't think so.

anyway i OCed my fx 6100 to 3.8 ghz. i don't wanna risk it with stock cooler. it is fine for now.

>>52885159

ARMA isn't even related to the AMD vs the world thing, its just an ancient game engine that the devs refuse to unfuck.

>>52885172

Any board rated to handle a 9590 is good for 1.5v. My board is not rated for the job.

>>52885172
You know intel and AMD overclock at different voltages correct? If I remember right the 990fx chipset and 83XX's can go up to like 1.5v where as most shilltell's start to kick the bucket after 1.3v

lmao the desperate AMD shill(s)

>>52885244
I'd be fine with it costing in the 400-500 USD range. I don't think AMD has ever sold a CPU above that price to consumers.

>>52885270
we're having conversations, so we naturally post more than once. I think I've posted here 5 times by now.

You aren't allowed to say anything positive about AMD here or you'll get downvo- I mean shitposted against.

>>52884919
It's not really impressive unless you're running 2 of them

I really don't understand the AMD shaming. We all understand AMD is a gen behind Intel. But seriously what are you doing on your rig that absolutely needs those extra calculations per clock cycle...it's like those motor heads who need that screaming engine to make their cock feel bigger

>>52885469
If you don't get why overclocking or tuning a car is enjoyable or worthwhile you must be a pretty basic bitch

Basic bitch..OK then. I never said it wasn't enjoyable. I'm talking directly to those who shame AMD.

>>52885650
1. AMD is a budget brand, even at the high end
2. Intel/NVidia fans get angry when a budget brand gets anywhere close to their much more expensive hardware
3. AMD parts usually require some sort of tweaking to get the desired performance. While this used to be true for any brand, people have gotten used to HURR GO BUTTON MAKE FAST
4. The module design issue is real and AMD took a while getting a different design into the pipeline. Though for people who understand hardware development, it's understandable that a company with as little resources as AMD took as long as they did.
