Disabling Cores For Overclock - 8320e

mason marnell@1457018692 · Jun 14, 2015

So I just bought an AMD FX 8320e that's running a turbo of 3.5 Ghz. I'm going to buy a new cooler soon for overclocking and I read some things on the internet that said disabling some cores and OC higher gets better results than more cores. I'm guessing this is true for most games because of no 8-core optimization, but will disabling 1-3 cores make my game experience better? Thanks!

With my AMD rig, there was an option in the BIOS to use 1 compute unit per core, so I would have 3 FPU's and 3 ALU's per module and I managed to overclock my FX 6300 to 5.2GHz with a Seidon 120v and a 970 chipset board. The performance was a LOT better in Arma 3.

what board? and why disable cores? won't run anybetter then all cores overclocked UNLESS your trying for over 5.5 ghz with an awesome cooler

I don't even know my board its really cheap one gonna have to upgrade. And Just wondering on overclocking at what point in the GHz would heat not matter and just wear and tear be bad for the CPU?

the fx 8320e best to stop at about 4.4-4.6, on air (best to use hyper evo 212). its all mainly on your cooler and the silicone in the chip that will determine what you limit is for over clocking
