Is My FX-8320 Good, Bad, or Average?

I've gotten it running stable at 4177 MHz with AMD Overdrive at around 55° Celsius with a 212 Evo. Thoughts?

Voltage? If you needed a good voltage increase, it's bad. If you're on stock with no llc, then good. If you went ahead with a small voltage increase, like one increment with low llc, then average. Depends on how much voltage you got.. Also those temps are okay. Core should be under 62C with socket 72C. Right now my chip runs under 50C with my fan on 700rpm.

Havent even TOUCHED the voltage yet. So Im gonna assume its pretty good right?

I guess its good then. At 4177MHz its stable. When i raise it to 4.28Ghz tho it becomes a bit unstable.

With a 8+2 phase board, you can get good OC with it. Right now try turning your loadline calibration to high or extreme. Don't touch voltage. Try going higher with that. With the LLC set, it will draw more voltage of needed and will idle at lower voltage. Watch your temps though. Use the overdrive stuff. Use all of the thermal margin if needed. Don't go over is my best advice.

Okay, I've got it stable at 4.275 GHz by just raising the multiplier,didn't touch anything else. temps are still around 50 degrees celsius, they've even gotten to the lower 40's before! :)
