Safe Overclocking: AMD FX-8320

A Random Shrub · Dec 6, 2015

My motherboard is only a 970 chipset and I would like to overclock my processor (AMD FX-8320) I know that doesn't leave me a lot of room. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the FX-8320, 8350, and 8370 are the same thing with different clocks, right? Would it be a good idea to set the voltage and speed to the same as an 8370? If I can go higher than an 8370, what would be a good voltage and speed?

There are some good 970 boards some mediocre and some really bad ones!
BIG QUESTION is what board do you have?

Ok you got a good board which gives you good control and good OC. Speed will vary between chips but max voltage should not exceed 1.5-1.55 volts.

So should I OC to the 8370, or can it go higher? I'm new to overclocking. I plan on using AMD Overdrive

All you can do is try but increasing multiplier in small steps and check for stability is the normal method. Us a guide http://www.overclock.net/t/1348623/amd-bulldozer-and-piledriver-overclocking-guide-asus-motherboard

They are the same architecture but act a bit different and are most likely different guality, meaning they perform at different voltages but there is alot of differences when comparin 2 of the same chips (meaning 2, 8350 can be very different etc.). But its possible

you can probably get 4.5ghz easy with water cooling.
