8320 4 GHz at 1.35v thoughts
The maximum temperature you can safely exceed for overclocking this CPU is your thermal limit. If you're using an 8320, it seems something is wrong with your BIOS settings. The recommended stock speed is 3.5, and turbo boost should be enabled at 4.0. It looks like either your motherboard isn't suitable for overclocking (if it really has an 8320) or you don't have one.
What about it? It's throttling? You're down clocking??? Give us something to work with.
It doesn't add value, turbo operates at 4GHz. If you can't surpass that limit, abandon the overclocking attempt and allow turbo to handle things on its own.
Sorry about that, I wrote this quickly because I was getting complaints for staying up late before a test. Not throttling, didn’t notice any throttling. To give you some insight, the stock settings were at only 3 Ghz, so I increased it to 3.7.
Overclocked to 4ghz this morning at 1.325v, played CSGO and had a bit of fun; temperatures reached around 63/64°C. No issues seen so far, and I’ll do more testing after school.

It seems like either your motherboard isn't suitable for overclocking (if it really is an 8320), or you don't have the correct chip.
