I've done a prime95 test for about 10 minutes and the temperatures I got were this ones: http://prntscr.com/5temxe

And the voltage was this one: http://prntscr.com/5ten2a

Is this overclock stable and can be use to stay in pc 24/7 or I will need to bring down Ghz or voltage?
I was worring about because I saw that the Fx 81XX series temps need to be lower than 61°

 

SPECS:

AMD FX-8120 @ 4.0GHz (Cooled With CM Hyper 212 EVO)
TT Tr2 rx 850W
MOBO: GA-990FXA-UD5

My current Voltage is: 1.365 

What kind of Voltages are safe? And whats a good stable clock speed? Need help pls sorry for my english

61 c is hotter than I like my chips to run.  That being said you will never see that in a real world situation.

10 min is not long enough to stress test a cpu.  You don't know if its actually stable with that time.

Let it run for a few hours and see what you get then.

? The FX max on core is 68 and socket is 74.

It throttels on core at 73 and socket at 78

Was there a question in there?

I understand that at 61 c its withing the rating for the chip.  I just don't personally like to run that hot.

I didn't say he couldn't just sharing my personal preference.

I would recommend a max voltage of around 1.4-1.45 unless you have one hell of a cooler, but even with one you'll heat up your room like crazy.  You can easily push it up to 1.5-1.55 safely, if you can dissipate the heat and don't mind a tropical computer environment.

 

For an 8320 I would aim for anywhere between 4.0 Ghz- 4.5 Ghz.  How far you can get depends on the chip.  I would recommend setting all your voltages in BIOS to their manual values rather than auto and then increasing clock speed until the system becomes unstable.   That will give you a good idea of how good of an OCer your chip will be.  The further you get before turning up the voltage, the better off you are.  Then you can slowly increase voltage + test stability until you hit a temperature wall (aim for 60 degrees under gaming/regular load and 70 ish max for stress tests).

 

As for stability, I like intel burntest for a quick and dirty "is my CPU spitting out the wrong numbers" and Crysis 3/Battlefield 4 for real world benchmarks.
