hello all, I'm fairly new to overclocking but I know of it and how its done. well the simple aspects of it. I want to max out my usage on my cpu so I'm asking for some help.

My motherboard is a Gigabyte 78lmt usb3
My CPU is AMD FX 8320
My CPU cooler is a corsair H60
Corsair 600W PSU
Case is Rosewill Dual Ranger M
Ram is 8GB crucial Ballistic 1866 speed
Evga 750ti GPU 2GB gddr5


My build is a Matx, which i know limits me to a certain extent but what the heck, its worth the try.

If you have water cooling on the CPU the small case will not be an issue, I have the 8350 which is pretty much the same chip and I find that 4.4 Ghz is easily obtainable with 1.38 v but anything more needs a lot more voltage.

4.5 Ghz needs 1.43 v with my chip so I just keep to 4.4, performs nicely there, you will just need to experiment with you chip and find your sweet spot for performance vs heat :)
