AMD FX-8120 Overclocking

[justcuz2345]

I am thinking of Overclocking my CPU (AMD FX-8120) and i want to know the highest safe GHz to over clock to.

Depends what cooler you have on this heater.

You could probably overclock it a safe few then. Just make sure to run stress tests and check your temperature during them to make sure that your overclock is good and stable.

What are the temps you get with it on full load?

I should suggest you raising slowly the clock and check for its temperature each time you increase the value. You should stop when temps reach let say 60 degrees celsius(that's just an example) Check the max temp for this CPU and do yourself a barrier where you think you should stop the OC so you won't damage the CPU.

That's what I did with mine. Max is around 72.4 deg C, so I OCd it to 4.4 and barely reaches 60 deg C. So these temps won't damage it in the future.

I'll check the temps now.
