FX8350 ?

Soooo, I bumped it up to 4.5ghz with all the cool n quiet/c1e/turbo off using 1.35v it's been stable.

I tried just a little extra bump up to 4.6ghz but I got a freeze (program not responding) in dying light idling in the menu while on the phone.

I'm kind of torn between leaving it alone or jacking up volts to get an even 4.6ghz out of it, is there a definitive answer as far as the volt cap on these cpus ? I guess 100mhz makes no real difference but I was just looking for an opinion if it's a reasonable overclock at its' current voltage?

Anything under 1.50v vcore is considered safe as long as your cooling is sufficient. Every CPU has different limits though, so it will have to be your decision whether 4.6 is important enough depending on how high you have to jack up the voltage to get there.

If the temps are as per you signature, then you will have no issues with putting some more voltage to get higher.
EDIT...forgot to say that from what I have read 1.55 is technically the max, but most people say keep it at max 1.5v. Generally people say <1.4v should get you 4.6.

I settled for 4.6ghz 1.375v it's stable in gaming but I still have to test through Prime 95. My modem took a dive yesterday so I couldn't dl the latest P95 285 I tried an old ver 258 that I had but no matter what clocks or volts it had it would just freeze as soon as I hit start. Is the new prime 95 64bit compatible with fx8350s?

Well, the new P95 was a big fail too worker threads stop working so I bump volts then p95 just freezes.

I am really not a fan of AMD because they are underpowered
