Proper overclock for my CPU?

DJ25380

So i have an AMD FX 8320 with a Hyper 212 Evo installed.

Would 4.5GHz be safe?

depends on your chip , but it seems doable .

AMD Ryzen R7 1700 (3.8ghz) w/ NH-D14, EVGA RTX 2080 XC (stock), 4*4GB DDR4 3000MT/s RAM, Gigabyte AB350-Gaming-3 MB, CX750M PSU, 1.5TB SDD + 7TB HDD, Phanteks enthoo pro case

every chip is different so no one can tell you

Im using a MSI 970A gaming MB if that helps

Start at around 4 ghz and test for an hour, if it's stable, bump it up. The only info you can really take from other peoples is a rough estimate of how far you can push your chip. Since most people OC to above 4ghz, you know that you can at least start at 4ghz.

4.5ghz is safe depending on voltage. but again every chip is different 1 cpu could do 4.7ghz and the same one might get 4.0 ghz depending on the silicon lottery

I would strongly advise against overclocking your CPU with a Hyper 212

The 212 evo is meant to out perform stock coolers. It was designed for CPUs that ship with out a stock cooler. It is in no way meant to handle the extra burden overclocking has on the CPU. You will hit a point where your cpu is constantly near or just over max temps and it will kill your cpu's life span.

bro, no. 

 

The 212 is more than capable of handling a 8xxx at 4.5 and ~1.45v

Turn HT and CPU-NB to x12

Upclock the CPU frequency to 4.5

increase voltage to 1.42

See if it is stable, increase voltage if it's not, increase clock if it is. 

If it's nearly stable you can often times use CPU-NB/NB voltage to gain stability. 

 

IMO.
