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!

@ D3. most people are more likely to die in a plane crash than win the lotto because they get on aircraft more often than buy a ticket.
To the poster, there is no real mystery here,AMD have been making these 8350 chips so long they have run out of lower grade ones to mark down in clocks and price.
@ Anybody buying an 8350, buy an 8320.Its likely as good.
@ the industry
Expect imminent release of an 8370 with higher stock clocks. ;#}
