AMD 8320 Overclocking

[devastator39]

I was curious as to what people are getting when overclocking the AMD-8320. Post here what you guys are getting!

Currently I am running my CPU @ 4.75 GHZ perfectly stable in Prime 95. I did have it running at 5, but could get it to run stable enough when running a render I was doing for a project in 3ds Max.

Bus Freq: 215 MHZ
Multiplier: 22.0

Voltages:
CPU V: 1.48
CPU/NB V: 1.45
DRAM V: 1.56

NB Clock: 2680MHZ
HT Clock: 2560MHZ
Ram Clock: 1866MHZ

4.4-4.5 GHz is what I most frequently see without getting into something heavy duty for cooling...a H80 or H100 should get you to ~4.4-4.6 GHz

Im running a Corsair H80, I get idle around 20, under load 50.

Yeah, your temps look good...that should keep you going for a LONG time...just keep core temps under 60C

Yep I realised this when my motherboard software in windows went mental once, when my cpu hit 60.

This shows over 280 tests for 8320: http://browser.primatelabs.com/geekbench2/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=AMD+8320+
This is where I go to compare mine with some of the best and when mine is the best ......
Highest Dell 745: http://browser.primatelabs.com/geekbench2/1332101
Highest AMD Phenom II X4 4.49Ghz: http://browser.primatelabs.com/geekbench2/1803258
Compare yours with same MB CPU combo to find your own bottlenecks and weakness and where you can improve.
