use amd overdrive.
Currently im trying to get mine stable at 4.8...
cant get it stable enough for OCCT or p95 so here's a few benchies
cinebench at 4.85

cinebench at 4.96

and AIDA64

The 4.96 image wont open theres a link above
hey Fr3ak
try using hwmonitor...i highlighted the most important cpu temp
http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/...psec996e53.jpg
the cores #0-7 temps are not as accurate, more like an algorithm of actual temp...they are usually about ~10C below cpu temp when cores are loaded.....correct me if im wrong guys
the most accurate cpu temp for the chip is highlighted yellow... at least thats my understanding
Got 1249pgt fx-8350 today will test tonight!
nice, dont forgot at max validation with 1.55-1.575V. How good CPU could be...Im curious, I dont saw yet so new batch of Vishera :)
CPU Temp = the CPU SOCKET temp, not CPU cores. The CPUT/CPU socket temps typically run 15-20C higher than the CPU cores, because the socket has no cooling other than free air and the mobo.Quote:

Socket temp doesnt need "active" cooling, so I dont think your 15-20C are very accurate and just a fairly okayish guess in the best case. Socket temp directly depends on CPU temp and if heat is "drawn away" from the CPU by the CPU heat sink, socket temp goes down as well. The only and main difference always was and always will be between core and socket temp is socket temp reacting a lot slower in idle/load changes.
You misunderstand, I didn't say the socket needs active cooling. I said the socket temp is not what you should be using to determine the CPU "temp". The socket temp means nothing and does vary with CPU temp and ambient temp. It typically runs 15-20C above the cores which have the heatsink for cooling.
It simply does not matter what the socket temp is. All that matters are the core temps under max load and they only matter for stability and longevity. Nothing else really matters and using the incorrect temp sensor can lead to false conclusions about the CPU's thermal condition. Using the socket temp as a means to determine if the CPU core temps are reasonable under max load, is incorrect as AMD's CPU temp specs are for the cores, not for the socket.
