You will have to let us know if it is stable or an overclock that simply your comfortable with using
Are you content with the temperature ? the performance?
That looks to be a fairly standard overclock. I think you'll find that manually setting a few things may be to your liking the next time you wish to make changes.

having some stress tests run for some time is a good indicator that it is stable. Prime95 or Aida64 i can recommend for certain. though OCCT seems to be favorable towards the FX series(Bulldozer/Piledriver) SKUs.



Using CPU-Z you can validate and anyone can see it through the banner link. Be proud of your processor. p

that pic doesnt really tell us anything except your cpu frequency.temps and stability are,ultimately going to tell you if it is a good oc.also,to spare us from looking up your original specs,a before and after spec list would help.as was said tho,the best way to oc is thru the bios.

Well, that is not entirely subjective. The CPU will shot off when it reaches a thermal limit or TJ MAX. That can save a Processor from potential permanent damage. It is known that Voltage Heat Time Kills Semiconductor technology , modern CPUs are not safe if operating at Voltages that are too high even if a thermal limit is going to allow it to shutdown. We have all seen the old tom's hardware vid in which heatsinks are removed during stress tests.

So , WokerGaming, Your Main CPU voltage is a tad high imo. I understand that many FX 8320.8350 users can achieve on overclock of 4.4GHz at no more than 1.4v. If this is something you are interested in then check it out on a number of forums and threads.
