AMD FX-8320 Overclock

[dr lyo]

So I was trying to find some information on people's experience overclocking the FX-8320 and I couldn't find much that wasn't years old which I guessed since it is a few years old now. Anyway, I was wondering what speeds and voltages and temps people this forum were achieving or if you had one in the past achieved. Any posts from 8350 or 9590 users is welcome to since they are the same chip just clocked higher.

 

I run 4.7Ghz stable at 1.43 Volts tried to go higher but seems to be the limit for now, might try uping voltage a bit more than I'm conformable with just to see if I can push it more. I get around 52-54 degrees using my H100i under full load and 34 degrees at idle. (Although the FX chips are notorious for giving false readings below 40 degrees.)

You can check LTT overclocking database or the Cinebench thread they have results of clock speed and stuff

I wouldn't want to go that high tbh. I had one that I got to 4.5ghz at 1.3v with a 212 Evo. Highest temp I saw with that was 60 under full load. Anythin over 4.5ghz, would crash even if I bumped the voltage up a little so I said fuck it, a 1ghz OC is fine by me.

It came stock with 1.425v so it must be safe, although anything over 4.7 and it resets itself at that voltage

Try going lower and see what you get. Sure it won't be higher than 4.7 but really with an 8320, it won't benefit much.
