guide FX-8320E Overclocking

[KingFox]

So after several failed boots and frowny faces of death, I've managed to get a decent overclock going on the FX-8320E. It's a low voltage chip (1.1v stock) so theres a retarded amount of headroom. I just got the new Gigabyte 990FX motherboard that came out some time in December, and i must say, its actually super nice  The tempuratures climb pretty slow using this motherboard and an H100i GTX liquid cooler, so I imagine it'll go further faily easy.

 

I've ran Prime95 for about 10 minutes or so and no initial crashes, and CPU temp topped in the 40c range. I dont see it going much further than mid to high 40s with my current settings because of how slowly the tempuratures climbed.

 

4.2ghz overclock (3.2ghz stock):

Voltage: +0.200

Multiplier:  x21.0

 

Idle:

 

Under Load (After about 1 minute):

If you object to my settings or whatnot, and or have had negative experiences with these settings lemme know so i can correct it if needed
