Why my PSU is well and good and yes my RAM is running at 1.65v. If my PSU is at fault even if I OC it should become unstable right but only thing I cannot run is Prime95.OK.

don't get too much obsessed with prime95 ;) ... it's time for some real testing, play BF4 / AC BF or Crysis like games for 3 - 4 hours and you will know whether your OC / stock cpu speed is ok or not. You just can''t expect prime95 to be the ultimate tool to be sure about cpu oc.

Temps will start increasing once you test your cpu oc using apps like IBT, OCCT, prime95 / Linx and this is exactly why good cooling is recommended once you start ocing.

BTW, in p95 did you run Small FFT test ? Set LLC to highest possible setting from bios.

his system was crashing even without any overclock while running prime 95,i guess.;) so there should be a reason

I want a guide to OC properly using Asus M5A97 R2.0 with AMD FX 8320.I have to search every time about any settings like the one you specified above ie. LLC. Is there anything that can help me.

Is there any thing called CPu Load Line Calibration in the BIOS menu?

buddy look carefully .. it should be under Ai Tweaker > AI OC tuner [ Manual Mode ] > And CPU load Line Calibration should be under PCie Spread Spectrum option. Set CPU NB and NB voltage to auto for now.

I cannot take a screen shot with an empty USB drive. I tried various ways.
I finally got to 4.2GHz from stock 3.5GHz with DOCP mode.At least some thing is better than nothing na.

For the sake of changing into a new CPU Architecture, System Stability and Future Proofing I am going for this Configuration:

Intel Core i5 4670K -15700,
Gigabyte GA-Z87M-D3H -9500,
Zotac GTX 650Ti Boost 2GB -12500,
Coolermaster 140mm 2 BC RED LED fans -1400,
Coolermaster 120mm 2 BC RED LED fans -1200,
Corsair H60 2013 Edition -4700.
TOTAL -45,000.

I think this config might just last for another 3-4 years.
Can I buy any MB from MSI, Asus, Asrock which are under Rs.9500 and are trust worthy and also must be Micro ATX only? Please suggest if any.
PS: Please don't go through all pages of this thread(in case) and pour your suggestions buddies with a free mind...

Donot get Msi or asrock mobo. either asus or gigabyte

My Suggestion You Need Better Gpu - Atleast R9 270x

Agian and again iam saying 650ti boost will not cut for future games (i hope you have seen The division Trailer - next gen games)

If you want to save your electricity - you have to go with Non oc rig,otherwise i think power consumption will be same as your previous rig

knocking on heavens door
look at page 3-12 of your manual, LLC sholuld be under Digi+ controls.
Also Prime 95 -_-

And i think the OC help needs a new thread.

As per your suggestion for saving electricity, Can I go with the below Config? :

Intel Core i5 4570 -13700,
Gigabyte GA-H87M-D3H -7500,
Asus R9 270X 2GB Dual-X -15800,
Coolermaster 140mm 2 BC RED LED fans -1400,
Coolermaster 120mm 2 BC RED LED fans -1200,
Corsair H60 2013 Edition -4600.
TOTAL -44,200.

There is not much performance difference between i5 4670k and i5 4570 unless with overclocking right? So can I use Turbo Boost for i5 4570 to run it at 3.6GHz at all times?
I think I don't need H60 Cooler right, So please suggest anything cheaper which might do the job of cooling i5 4570 without much fervor like anything around 1.5k is enough right?
Is Deepcool good or Coolermaster better? I am thinking of a low profile CPU Cooler. Which one is a good low profile cooler?

Get Cm Hyper 101 - *www.flipkart.com/cooler-master-hyp...VDRP&ref=a2dfa626-972c-4356-80d9-b38fee48368f

It performs almost same as tx3 at less price :wink:

Then Coolermaster Hyper 212 TX3 (push-pull) is enough for cooling right?

Intel Core i5 4570 -13700,
Gigabyte GA-H87M-D3H -7500,
Sapphire R9 270X 2GB OC -15800,
Coolermaster 140mm 2 BC BLUE LED fans -1400,
Coolermaster 120mm 2 BC BLUE LED fans -1200,
Coolermaster Hyper 101 -900.
TOTAL -40,500.

Will the above last 3 years and save electricity?

I edited it - get hyper 101 (more than enough)

After sale of service of gigabyte GPU is questionable! get from sapphire or from asus.

ya. save electricity ? :-? it is not power saver machine :lol:

did you get the light bill of this month ?

Gigabyte & Asus offers 3 years warranty where as Sapphire offers 2 years warranty but leave the warranty given by its distributor as it doesn't matter.Asus is costly by a big margin even if we take Gigabyte & Sapphire into consideration. Anyways I will go with Sapphire because it is cheap and have good after sales support compared to others.
This month's bill is 2k.

Intel Core i5 4570 -13800,
Gigabyte GA-H87M-D3H -7500,
Sapphire R9 270X 2GB OC -15800,
Coolermaster 140mm 2 BC BLUE LED fans -1400,
Coolermaster 120mm 2 BC BLUE LED fans -1200,
Coolermaster Hyper 103 -1800.
TOTAL -41,500.

Will above RIG last at least 3 years ?

Some say that R9 270X is easily comparable to HD7950. IS it right?
