I was wondering how low of a voltage i could go with an fx 8320 at 4ghz.

Also, how do you lower voltage?

You don't want to lower voltages. ..unless there's too much heat at stock which there shouldn't be . It's the vcore setting usually ththat handles cpu voltage. It's probably set to offset mode by default though and you will have to change it to manual to properly set a manual static voltage/ghz combo. Using offset to over clock isn't easy really and takes some experience . First get the multi up and keep upping the multiplier .5 at a time until the computer is unstable (fails prime 95 or bsod or freezes etc). Once it's unstable THEN you need to bump the voltage up a bit to allow for stability. You can repeat the process over and over until you hit your thermal limits (62 C on package/cpu and 71 C on the socket )
