try disable cool & quite, turbo core (perhaps c1e if available) then manually set cpu multiplier to default (x16, u can even try x20 as it's d multi when under turbo/boost state).

rule of thumb when oc AMD chips is always to DISABLE what ever power saving features (C&Q, C1e etc...), as well as turbo. what's d vcore setup? manual or offset? personally I prefer manual (at least when I'm in d midst to determine d highest 24/7 clock), once sweet spot of cpu, ram & NB frequency are found then only try C&Q enabled & offset for vcore.

as for throttling issue, it shouldn't be that bad (but to be fair I never have d luxury to play with any e chip). I think 240mm aio is d least u can go if ur runnin an FX8, 120mm aio aint gonna be enuf to tame d heat, unless ur runnin stock clock plus some serious undervolt. board, or rather bios do play some parts too, but d heat will always be there. u can try undervolt ya chip thou, it's something which I find all FX chip are pretty good at (actually same applies to intel, or at least those that I've tried). it's pathetic if ur not even able to run stock clock during load, defeat purpose of buying d chip. U can try disable 4 core & see how it goes with d temp/throttling too. all d best...

my bad sir, mebe i over exaggerated a lil, but most of d time i'm not bothered to run stock volt & stock clock at d same time. either under volt + slight oc or stock clock with lowest volt needed. 120 aio is decent for d latter case, but if oc is involved, 240 aio would be more ideal. with custom wc temp is never a problem, especially for vishera...

not aware of that sir, but glad that ur sharing d results... looks like not much diff, apart from d noise generated... but should but good for quaddy with some lite oc... definitely good enuf for dually...

oh ya... @ 5.0GHz rite?

here's a stock fx8320 with some undervolt, cooled by hyper 212+ @ pushpull... given d temp, i didn't dare to clock it...

dont really dare & time constraint sir... usin a chap ayam CM pcar serie 650w watter, quite bad +12v rail to me on load. there's some headroom for oc given d temp but i dont wanna stress d pwm too much since i didn't put a 120mm fan coolin it. 3.8GHz should be fine i guess, but i doubt i can keep d vcore @ 1.2v...

cap ayam psu sure bad under load bro...

never noticed that but when i see d rail under load d no is quite bad to my standard... thou like what u said sir sw monitorin is never accurate...

will give it another run mebe on friday since it's PH over here... if no other activity ofcoz... mite end up watchin Barney/Elmo d whole day thou...
