Overclocking a 125 watt CPU on a 125 watt max motherboard

Achromatic · Nov 30, 2014

I intend to overclock my 8320 but was curious how a 125 watt max cpu supported motherboard handles overclocks on a cpu that is already at 125 watts?

What motherboard ??
& the 8320 doesn't use 125w in general tens - its what its rated at heat wise with all cores under 100% load.

It's the GIGABYTE GA-78LMT. Mine is the 3.1 rev so it supports 125 watt cpu's (rev 4 & 5 do not).

I wouldn't overclock on that board with those uncovered VRM's personally.

None of the 760 chip set mATX boards can handle overclock on an FX8 core well, that gigabyte included.

Would the fx-6300 achieve a more reliable/stable overclock than the 8320? The board overclocks my old phenom x3 720 fine (2.8 stock - 3.6 oc with 4th core unlocked).
