Hi guys, I'm overclocking the amd fx 8320, and I had some questions.
Right now I'm on 1.472V with 4.4ghz. It's Intel burn test stable on high, now I understand that's a high voltage. It was aida 64 stable with lower voltages and running for 10 minutes. Now I know that my CPU will never be pushed to the limits Intel burn test pushes it to so can I use the lower voltage setting that is Aida 64 stable or should it be Intel burn test stable?
 
Solution
It needs to be "never crashes or has any other problems when using the computer normally" stable.

But when you are playing games, you will never be able to tell the difference between running your CPU at 4.2GHz or 4.4Ghz, so if you are worried about voltages and stability, just turn it down to 4.2 and drop the voltage accordingly
