Hi guys, first time 8320 overclocker... I've been reading the overclock.net guide of bulldozer overclocking...
currently I'm at 4.5 but the cpu seems to be getting quite toasty... I'm going to bump the voltages down a notch and see if it reduces temps a bit.
asus m5a99fx pro 2
8320
290 r9
2x4gb vulcan 2400
alpenfohn k2 mount doom cooler.
Is there anything I can change to make it cooler but retain the same speed or even more? here is current status...
Thanks!
edit: just realised I can only post one picture... will update,

Sorry, all of that information apart from case was on screenies...
temps are now at 64 ish after a few minutes of prime and a volt of 1.356
case is a zalman z9 plus with 4 fans
2 push, front and side
2 pull top and back
I've got a couple of ideas of why it's running hot... I may have to replace the thermal paste on it because while installing everything i had to take the heatsink off again in order to plug a cable in (noob) so I have a feeling it'll have airpockets now and will be too thickly spread... does that sound possible?
Also I plan to dremmel a hole in the mobo side of my case so I can get a fan blowing on the back on the cpu socket.

4.5 is the highest I can get while staying under 70 degrees. I'm now trying to get my ram to run at a faster speed than 1600 but it won't post in 1866.
any tips? this is the first time I've fiddled with ram timings etc.
I'm also going to try and put all the power saving modes back on as I've reached my limits but it's under 70

I got to 4.6 but decided to stay at 4.5 because the temp difference. The thing is I noticed that my USB ports weren't working properly and I also think(hope) this also has something to do with why my pc hangs at startup with a 2nd harddrive installed. I've read that overclocking can affect usb ports and that like but don't know what I can do about it.
