Is this a safe overclock?

[Alexb123]

I have recently managed to get my fx-8320 overclocked to 4.4ghz at about 1.4v. The temps are getting to 60 degrees Celsius at full load. Is it safe to run this overclock 24/7?

Yes, maybe you can OC it even more.

Maybe, i havent even tried a lower voltage yet, i tried a 4.2ghz overclock and that ran at 57 degrees celcius at full load and the same voltage.

Yes run it for 24h and check the temps throughout the day and if it stays steady then keep going on your over clock if you want

yeah, I think it could go a bit higher. Is it ok to go above 60 degrees, ive heard 60 degrees is the highest you should go.

nahh, 75°C should be your max, but you shouldnt go higher then 1.4V for a 24/7 OC , but thats just my opinion

Yep. Although I think 1.4v is a bit too much voltage for your clock speed. My 8320 was a very average chip and managed to do 4.3 at 1.325v and 4.4 at ~1.35v
