Hello,
Recently I have gotten more interested in overclocking my fx-8350 cpu. I have finally managed it to get it to 4,8Ghz at 1,5Volt but I ran into a problem when doing a stress test. Whenever I do a stress test in cpu-z the score I start with is around 1890, but when the processor hits around 50 degrees celsius I start seeing drops in task manager and the score in cpu-z lowers with around 200. If I stop the stress test and let the cpu cool down again I can start the stress test and everything will be normal again, until i hit the 50 degrees again.
I'm wondering why the performance suddenly goes down that much around 50 degrees since I would expect a processor to bottleneck at much higher temperatures and I would like to go a little higher and get a little better score, but that's hard with these drops.
my specs:
Amd fx-8350 @4,8Ghz
asrock extreme3 2.0
Sapphire AMD radeon r7 370 4gb
12gb hyperX fury and 8gb hyperX savage @1,6Ghz
Thermaltake smart pro rgb 850W
coolermaster liquidmaster ML120
kingston A400 ssd 120gb with windows 10
here is a screenshot of my performace lowering, dont mind the last part there I stopped the stress test to take a screenshot.
