Remember that AMD CPU's have a bug which means temperatures are incorrectly reported. Add an extra 13'C.
AMD also recommends never to exceed 65'C.

As for your PSU... Well. You could handle dual mid-range cards, but not high-end, you would want an 850w PSU minimum to keep things happy.
I would personally opt for dual Radeon 390 8Gb cards... But even dual 380 4gb cards would give a better VR experience (Once drivers are out) than a single 390X I would imagine.

 

I brought the FSB back to 200. Raised the Multiplier to x19.5 (1.48v). Raised the NB multi to x12 (1.25v). It's stable but not as good of results as last night. I had no success at 4GHz cpu/ 3GHz nb. So I'm at 3.9GHz cpu/ 2.4GHz nb.

 

Last night passmark gave me just above 2300+ rating. Tonight passmark gives just below 2300- rating. Steam VR Performance test put me back in "capable" where as last night it had me in "ready". 

 

Maybe my motherboard is just designed to be tweaked. It has a physical knob for adjusting the FSB in real-time! Totally noob friendly. Even has a physical reset-cmos button which I love right now.

 

Any advice? If I can't figure something out I'm going to have to go back to 3.84 cpu (240 * 16) since it was Steam VR approved.
