7950 bad fps

You need to figure out what settings are different than before and fix them. If I had that board I'd have surely provided better information, and all the OC process would be much easier in the end.
 
i just got the manual mode to work. 1.46V and it drops to 1.44V under load, but now this is interesting.

/edit/ restarted the torture test and now all cores are in use. mind that it now doesn't crash at 1.44V. at least not immediately. will run it for a while just to check if 1.44V is stable.

You need to run it for a few hours actually. The Vdrop is fine, I have a similar Vdrop myself. I think the torture test didn't start 4 threads for 4 cores for some reason or you closed one maybe. Be patient with Prime95 keep it for a few hours, if it works then you may have a 24/7 stable OC at 4.4 which is good! :)
 
no 1.44 isnt stable, crash after a few minutes. i will set it to 1.48, it should be stable with the vdrop then. 1.47 is definitely not stable, that died after 10 minutes with the 1.45 vdrop
 
I have watched that video before... It sure it's interesting but with that voltage dropping you can't overclock. Also make sure that you turned off every possible Power Saving feature there is in that bios.
EDIT:
Make sure you got TPU and EPU turned off

massive update mate. i couldnt get the voltage on that multiplier to at least 1.46 with vdrop, it always dropped to 1.45 and then crashed. so i raised the coreclock and lowered the multiplier and it runs without problems for 15 minutes now, 58° peak, 1.45V at load.
/edit/ i'm trying to upload a screenshot but imgur lets me down
 
How was a tough "figure out how to OC" session?
Overclocking is tough when you're a beginner. Anyway, you can try again tomorrow, and ask for help if you want to. We're here!

Mate as I posted earlier in this thread I would be looking at the psu.
Instability with an overclocked system can be alot of things. I can see you have been pushing you cpu hard with the volts and changing every setting under the sun.
Either you have lucked out on the silicon lottery big-time or something is wrong.
Overclocking would be putting your psu under a lot of strain. Under high loads (prime95), ripple, voltage regulation all plays an important part. You want the cleanest push of power into your system when pushing it hard.
Its been on this forum and others that psu quality is often overlooked in terms of getting stable overclocks.

mates i'm so ridiculously stupid, it ain't even funny. the bios is on 1102. must have happened when i cleared the cmos. downloaded 1605.
 
also about the PSU, i just spent my last penny on the gpu and the new cpu fan, so that won't happen for a while because i usually order multiple things at once because of the shipping costs. next big package i'd order would be PSU, mainboard and either haswell CPU or 2600k.
 
I dunno... seems damn strange that when he ran those games it didn't crash.. Volts can't go under very much without total system crash. I've been in that exact situation, and I don't know if I would rush to blame the PSU

i redid the overclock, just with less voltage. prime95 runs and the temps are okay, but suddenly that happend. first time worker 1 and 4 stopped after test 1, this was the second try.
btw voltage is 1.45V
 
When you get a error like that it means bad overclock. It doesn't always blue screens. Pushing the volts a bit might cure this.
