Hello,

Is AMD OverDrive good for overclocking? I managed to disable Turbo Core Control in BIOS but I am not that talented with BIOS. I have a AMD FX8320. How much can I overclock it and what should I put my voltage on?

That motherboard is not a very strong overclocker of 125w cpus. You should be able to match FX8350 speeds(4.2ghz) but I wouldn't go much higher.

Motherboard: ASRock 970 Extreme4
GPU: AMD Radeon HD6950 2 GB
CPU: AMD FX 8320 3,5 Ghz.
PSU: CoolerMaster M520 520W

I hope u have enough information with this. I hope to be able to overclock my GPU later on aswell but I am not sure if this will be possible? Maybe that for another topic?

I believe you can vote it back up. Not sure though.

Yes you can overclock your video card. You need to be thinking about getting a better psu though.

You shouldn't have to adjust the voltage. If you do, I wouldn't go above 1.45v.

Okay, I will have to find some info about better psu's cuz I don't know much about em.

Do u think it would be smart to overclock my gpu now with this psu and overclock my cpu at the same time or would u think my psu is crap for that?
