UPDATE 3 8/8/14: Just one last thing. In my screenshot, you can see that my Frequency displays 1400 MHz. This happens from time to time, I can confirm that my frequency is indeed 4600 Mhz. That should be it for updates.
UPDATE 2 8/14/14; Just a reminder that those temps were taken after about 20 minutes of running Prime95 small FFT's test. Thanks again.
UPDATE 8/14/14: Thank you everyone for your responses! It truly means a lot. Anyway, I'll post the link to my screenshot here: http://i.imgur.com/1UeS179.png As you can see, I oveclocked my CPU to 4.6 at a massive 1.51 volts!!! I've noticed something very unique about my chip; It requires more voltage to stabilize an overclock, but this voltage doesn't create nearly as much heat as it should, say, on a "normal" chip. Anyway, thanks again, and keep the comments coming.
UPDATE: Using the H110, I get extremely low temps on my FX-8320. Running Prime95 for around 20 minutes yields temps of around 41 degrees Celsius.
Hello everyone, I recently put together my fist gaming rig and have been working a bit on my FX-8320 overclock. So far, i've gotten it up to 4.4 GHz at 1.42 volts. Keep in mind that this is on the H110 Cooler. I am using the Gigabyte 990FXa UD3 motherboard Rev. 4. I have turned High Performance Computing on and have turned Cool and quiet mode off. I also overclocked the North Bridge to 2400 Mhz. My goal is to get this CPU up to 4.8 GHz, or higher, but for some reason if I go any higher than 4.4, the CPU locks up after about 20 minutes of Prime 95, and sometimes just during normal use. Everything is just fine at 4.4. Can someone help? Much appreciated.
