Hello,
I currently have an AMD fx 8320, I am looking into a new CPU. I know AMD CPUs get hot, and I'm looking to overclock until I get a new one. Everytime I overclock past 3.5Ghz (The Stock Frequency), the computer will shut off. No specific time, temps aren't going above 160 Fahrenheit ever. I'm not new to overclocking, I've built a few computers in the past, and this is the first time this happened. If anyone knows a solution, or a guide for overclocking my system, please link it or explain.

*Temps*
Ambient Temperature: 80 Fahrenheit
Idle: 90 Fahrenheit
100% Load: 150 Fahrenheit

*Specs*
Case: NZXT Source 210
Case Fans: 2x Corsair AF120MM Intake
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3
CPU: AMD fx 8320
CPU Cooler: Corsair Hydro H55 / 2x SP Fans Push & Pull on the Radiator
GPU: MSI GTX 1060
PSU: 750watts

*UPDATE*
I Got the CPU To run 4.5Ghz at 45celsius, with a 2 hour benchmark, max degrees was 52 celsius with 100% load

150 F is 65 C, and that processor isn't supposed to go past 62 C. Ideally more like 55 C. 80 F ambient is going to be rough regardless, but double check your cooler is working properly and the pumps/fans are still working. I know the Hydro isn't a top end cooler, but I'd have thought it would do at least a little better than that.
