Currently I have a FX 6300 OC'd to 4.1 GHz. Following are the rest of the components that I use:
MoBo: Asus M5A97 Evo R2.0
CPU Cooler: Hyper Evo 212
GPU: Asus R9 280x 3GD5 (Non Top Version)
FX 6300 runs most of my games including the modern titles at High Graphic settings at 1080p without any problems. However, I recently started streaming (Casual streaming @ 480p) and I find that FX 6300 isn't really cutting it out anymore. It does use almost the whole CPU power to encode using x264 encoder. (The AMD VCE encoder that utilizes GPU instead of CPU isn't working for some reason on Xsplit and OBS).
I would like to upgrade to a 8 core processor and the FX 8320e seems to be cheapest option for my needs and utilizes a lot less power. I would be OC'ing the 8320e and would like to know can I safely OC it to achieve the same performance as the more expensive FX 8750 CPU using my current Hyper Evo 212 CPU Cooler? If not, will it be possible to achieve the performance of FX 8750 by OC'ing FX 8320 (the non "e" version)?
I am guessing that if I go for FX 8350 or FX 8370 (which I can't as they are way to expensive for me), and OC them, I would need water cooling as even the FX 6300 tends to blow out a good amount of heat. (I do live in a hot region).
Would you advise to go for an FX 8350 instead and then OC it using Hyoer Evo 212 cooler?
Appreciate the help
