Hi guys,

I would like to overclock my FX-8320 and i never done that before so i need you guys to give me some hint and advise.

I have a very good knowledge with computer but i never overclocked anything because my computers we're always enough powerful for the things i had to do with.

My rig:

Motherboard: Asus M5A99X rev.2
Processor: AMD FX-8320
Cooler: Corsair H100I push fan configuration
Ram: Corsair Vengence 1600 4go
Power supply: HCG-620M (planning to change for a 1000watts)
Video Card: Powercolor HD7750 ( planning to change for an R9)
PC Case: Aerocooler X1 Predator with 4X140mm Fan (planning to change the case)
Windows 7 64bits

sorry for my bad english
Thanks guys !!
Alexandre

I would suggest going into the bios and changing the multiplier.

Cool you are overclocking a heater and with one of the coldest winters in decades if you were in the states you would have a blast (its very cold).

I would start with avoiding voltages until you hit an unstable point. There's no reason to up the voltages until you have unstable overclocks.

ok so playing with multiplier when i got unstable what i have to do?
Do i need to turn off option in bios or just simply play with the multiplier ( sound too much easy to me ?!)

up multipliers until you hit unstable point or desired point. If the thing is unstable add voltages slowly until you hit stable. At least that's how i think you're suppose to do it.
