    Xsplit+gaming is the perfect benchmark to leverage the architectural strengths of Vishera. It's simultaneous gaming, recording, encoding and broadcasting.

    After giving each of these settings time to settle in and F@h for a week I've determined that they each need 1.46875v to remain stable. I shouldn't be surprised I suppose. Also, the benchmarks are really close and I can't give the lead at either setting. I wish I could go to Austin to speak to an engineer about this, or just find a FX-8350 there that would show me that some will run higher frequencies at lower voltages stable F@h. Right now I just realize how intense F@h really is. No complaints, I'm just pointing out the rarity of such high voltages at lower end frequencies that I've seen at other websites that claim stability.

    BIOS settings:
    Current CPU Speed: 4500mhz
    CPU Ratio: 18
    CPU Bus: 250
    Mem Freq.: DDR3-2000mhz
    CPU/NB Freq.: 2500mhz
    HT Link Speed: 2750mhz
    DRAM Timings: 8-10-9-27-1T
    CPU Voltage: 1.46875v
    CPU/NB Voltage: 1.3v

    BIOS settings:
    Current CPU Speed: 4500mhz
    CPU Ratio: 22.5
    CPU Bus: 200
    Mem Freq.: DDR3-2133mhz
    CPU/NB Freq.: 2400mhz
    HT Link Speed: 2600mhz
    DRAM Timings: 9-11-10-28-1T
    CPU Voltage: 1.46875v
    CPU/NB Voltage: 1.3v

    Any chance AMD coming to New Orleans soon???

    This isn't working. F@h coughed up again after 24 hours so I'm wondering if I need to adjust my Digi+ VRM in some way. I'm clueless at this point.

    I'm reverting my bios settings back to the beginning and starting to log my Digi+ settings. Here they are.

    BIOS settings:
    Current CPU Speed: 4500mhz
    CPU Ratio: 22.5
    CPU Bus: 200
    Mem Freq.: DDR3-2133mhz
    CPU/NB Freq.: 2400mhz
    HT Link Speed: 2600mhz
    DRAM Timings: 9-11-10-28-1T
    CPU Voltage: 1.45v
    CPU/NB Voltage: 1.3v

    Digi+ VRM settings:
    CPU LLC: Ultra High
    CPU/NB: Regular
    CPU O-C Protection: 130%
    CPU/NB O-C Protection: 130%

    The rest are defaults.

    Does anyone else do F@h with this type of setup, and if so what are your experiences?

    I have a thread going here if anyone is interested. So far my current settings are reduced to this ...trying to get temps down atm:

    BIOS settings:
    Current CPU Speed: 4500mhz
    CPU Ratio: 18
    CPU Bus: 250
    Mem Freq.: DDR3-2000mhz
    CPU/NB Freq.: 2250mhz
    HT Link Speed: 2500mhz
    DRAM Timings: 8-10-9-27-1T
    CPU Voltage: 1.425v
    CPU/NB Voltage: 1.2v

    Digi+ VRM settings:
    CPU LLC: Ultra High
    CPU/NB: Regular
    CPU O-C Protection: 100%
    CPU/NB O-C Protection: 100%

    Final final stable settings for 24/7 F@h (this one is tried & true for months now):

    BIOS settings:
    Current CPU Speed: 4500mhz
    CPU Ratio: 22.5
    CPU Bus: 200
    Mem Freq.: DDR3-2133mhz

    HT Link Speed: 2200mhz
    DRAM Timings: 9-11-10-28-1T
    CPU Voltage: 1.4625v
    CPU/NB Voltage: Auto

    Digi+ VRM settings:
    CPU LLC: Auto
    CPU/NB: Auto
    CPU O-C Protection: Auto
    CPU/NB O-C Protection: Auto

    Also, a new fix from Stilt that supposedly improves Super Pi bench by a significantly:

    Bulldozer Conditioner R1.02B

    F@h ran fine at these settings for months and this weekend I had to bump up to 1.46875v on the cpu. Must be the wu type or something. This is pushing my current cooling system to the limits. Soon I will be making improvements in that respect.
