AMD guarantees your cou to be stable at stock clocks and lower. That's it. Any OC is a pot luck lottery. You may get 4.1 stable, or 5.4 stable, I've even seen reports of an 8320 stable at 6.1, but that's an absolute fluke, and the owner probably went through god knows how many CPUs to get that 1 chip. Basically, what you believe should be feasible with an OC, and reality with OC are 2 different things, all I can day on it is good luck, hope it works for you.

My 8320 is stable at 5ghz but requires 1.53v and that runs way too hot. I run mine at 4.5@1.36v for long encoding sessions when it will be going non-stop for 30+ hours and 4.8@1.425v for everyday use. To me the extra heat going past 4.8 on my chip just is not worth it.Wouldnt the h110 help with the thermal issues, so couldnt my 8350 go to 5 ghz?

The max OC has nothing to do with your cooler. The cooler only applies to keeping a high OC under thermal max, TDP. Depending on whether you got lucky and got a good binned CPU, is what ultimately decides how high you can get a stable OC. If you are lucky you might get 5GHz or better, if you got unlucky you may only get 4.2GHz at stable, no matter how much voltage you feed it. There is a poster here who took a fx4100 to 5.1GHz stable at 1.74v. That's massive for an x1xx CPU, but he got lucky in the silicon lottery and got a good chip. I can't get my i5 3570k past 4.4 stable.. I lost on the lottery, big time.

I think this is the best 990FX OC mobo you got. Unless you really wanna dump ridiculous amounts of money into a professional motherboard that is designed to support the 9-series FX, that's what you're gonna get for it.BigBadBeef said:
I can't watch you do this anymore. You are a stubborn, ruthless, soulless, pc killing cur!After some testing and prime 95 i got 4.6 ghz stable, which is nice. I wanted 4.8, but cant or else the computer goes off. 4.7 doesn't work either. Too bad
but i'm good with 4.6!-
