I got an FX8320 late last week. I am using a gigabyte 990FX UD3 board.
I did a quick OC but before tinkering further I wanted to get a feel for what others were currently getting to for an OC.
I am now at 200 base clock with a 21.5 multiplier (4.3GhZ). I have my Vcore offset to +.05 and I can increment in .025 steps.
I am not too comfortable going to much higher as I have a mediorce CPU Heatsink- "COOLER MASTER Vortex Plus RR-VTPS-28PK-R1 92mm Long life sleeve CPU Cooler"

Basically my current OC is stable. I have seen that 5GHz is possible but it sounds like that was on liquid cooled. Just trying to see what other experiences anyone has had to date OCing the 83XX line.
Edit - Did a couple more tests and found I was not stable at 4.5 with the .05V increase so I have backed it down to 4.3 which seems stable. Question remains on how high people have gotten on air and at what voltage.
