AMD 8320 OCd or 8350 or 8370

DefectedSOul · May 4, 2016

Processor - AMD FX 8320 Black Edition
Cooler - Cooler Master: Hyper 212 EVO
Graphics Card - AMD Radeon Sapphire Nitro R9 390 8GB OC edition
RAM - 4x 4GB G.Skill Ripjaw X (16GB DDR3 @ 1866)
Power Supply - 850watt EVGA SuperNOVA G2
Motherboard - GIGABYTE 970A-UD3P

IM waiting for Zen to come out before i drop alot of money on upgrading my PC and my CPU is causing a bottle neck for me Ive got my 8320 overclocked to 4.2GHz and with that ive gained about 10 FPS in games (still not reaching 60fps in dark souls 3 )
before over clocking i was on average 45ish fps in Dark Souls 3 then after over clock i get about 55ish fps
if i can find the 8350 onsale would it be worth picking it up? (probably over clock it aswell ) til zen drops
And also the 8370 seems like the 8350 just with slightly higher turbo or is it more than that under the hood?
thank you

No not at all in my opinion, they are the same chip essentially. An 8300, 8320, 8350, 8370, even the 9590 will perform about the same at the same clock speed they are pretty much the same exact chip under the hood. You could probably drag a bit more out of that 8320 than 4.2ghz if you want more performance. What do you have your core voltage set to? What are temps under load?

the voltage is at 1.4volts and 4.2 is as high as ive gotten with it being stable i had it at 4.28ghz and did s stress test and windows 10 crashed and my temps are around 45 ish highest i seen it with 4.2ghz was 52
(im kinda new to over clocking lol )

It should do better than that at 1.4v most will hit at least 4.4ghz with 1.4v. Did you disable AMD turbo core, cool and quiet, C1E, Core C6 State, and APM master mode? Looks for those settings in your BIOS and disable them in need be, they are mostly power saving features which can hurt the stability of an overclock.

Give this guide a look its for asus motherboard specifically but I would imagine your gigabyte board has a lot of the same features: http://www.overclock.net/t/1348623/amd-bulldozer-and-piledriver-overclocking-guide-asus-motherboard

i did all that and still cant get it to be stable at 4.4ghz i did notice in Core Temp it says the voltage my cpu is getting is 1.40 volts and i went in the bios and changed it to near 1.42 volts and went back in and core temp still said 1.4000volts
before i started over clocking it said 1.4125volts
im not sure why it went down and i cant get it back up
