If you want to do some solid overclocking go for the FX-9590. Oh god, remember having 6GHz on that. :lol:
But seriously, don't waste your money on FX's, much more affordable to go with an Intel-K Edition, as they are actually meant for overclocking.

Not unless you are going to run a liquid nitrogen set up. If so, that chip will still no longer hold any world records. The fx is a dying platform. Either go Ryzen or something from Intel. No one is going to reccomend the CPU you suggested.

I have had a 8320 OC'ed to 4.5 on a H100i for almost 3 year now without issue. Even with a full 1 GHz over normal stock (not including boot) that chip still never came close to the intel's of 3 year ago. I just bought it because i needed better and a CPU, Mobo, SSD, Water Cooler, RAM, and PSU cost me the same as a i5 + Good Motherboard at the time. It is still great to me to this day as I don't game as much anymore so no need for more power.

yea you do realize it was ONLY running 1 core NOT all 8 so that is pointless. 1 8GHZ core is not more powerful than 8 3.5 GHZ cores.
FX was never better than intel ever (At least not against their i5's and up) and defiantly not a good buy today. I mean for a cheap build sure but you need good cooling for the FX CPU's though. My H110i playing games has a hard time keeping my 4.5Ghz Overclocked on all 8 cores cool even idle anymore.

You realise Ghz is a meaningless number on its own. Even with a massive overclock the FX series are destroyed in performance terms by Ryzen and most modern Intels. In a lot of tasks even the basic cheap G4560 keeps up or beats a FX8350.
I run a i7-7700 myself for my gaming with 1060,,and it runs Witcher 3 at High settings at over 200 fps..and CPU with EVO 212,,and it never gets after 6 hours straight playing over 60c !Im a Intel man after this but the Ghz i read on The x-8320 o thought would be a good topic,,,!!OS Windows 10,,16gb 2400Mhz.On a Asus Prime Plus Board.I think you cant get much better for 1200 Dollars!
"Fx-8320 is proven the best Oc and holds the record on benchmarks! "
OMG thanks for that laugh I needed that this morning... Good one... lol

SMH. Yea i got a FX 8320 still with a GTX 960 4GB and I'm starting to see the slower FPS in newer games. I still don't need to upgrade but still won't says go and buy a FX CPU. I mean the only good thing about them is they are cheap as hell now lol
