Hello TH,
I am kinda new to overclocking, but everything has gone so smoothly I am unsure if something is wrong...lol.
Essentially...I have a FX 8320 and a meh-ish Zalman 92mm CNS5px Shark Fin cooler, pasted with thermal paste Arctic Silver MX-2.
So I have been reading about people with a Cooler Master 212 and 8320/50 idling at 30-35 getting up to 55c during full load at like 1.4.
Meanwhile, I have been able to overclock my 8320 at stock voltage (maybe even below) to a whopping 4.4ghz, without touching anything but the multiplier.
Furthermore, it runs stable at around 20-30 idle and 50 full load during gaming and 55c during Prime95. Wow. Is it that easy to overclock a good chip?
Help appreciated, thanks!
