adjust fx8320 speed from 3.5ghz to 4ghz
Hello everyone!
This is my first overclock attempt and i use this guide for setting up my bios
http://
but i didnt changed the voltage
http://
here is the result after 1 hour prime95 so my question is is this safe like that? if no then what should i change ?
PC SPEC:
motherboard: asus m5a97 r2.0
processor: amd fx8320 black edition
power supply: corsair cx600
graphic card: gigabyte gtx 770 2gb oc
ram: corsair vengeance 8gb ddr3 1600 mhz
cooler: CoolerMaster Hyper 212evo
thx for the asnwer!
(sorry for the bad english)
CPU is too hot. It's at the temperature where it's about to thermal throttle if it goes up another degree or two.
Maybe back down to 3.9GHz until you get a better cooler.
Also, there's no need to increase voltage until it becomes unstable at higher speeds. Like if you go for 4.5GHz and it's unstable, then I might bump up the voltage a little. But be aware that increasing voltage dramatically increases heat output.
Hello everyone!
This is my initial overclock trial and I refer to this guide for configuring my BIOS.

but I haven’t adjusted the voltage.

here are the outcomes after an hour using prime95, so my concern is whether this is safe. If not, what should I modify?
Thank you for your response!
If you wish to click the image icon and share the link in the resulting screen, it must be a direct link ending in jpb, bmp, png and similar formats. This way we can view the picture right here at Tom's within your question. Just tap the Polaroid Icon when replying, asking or answering. The tools will appear above your text box.
Have you checked your results? All of them? The temperatures? Core temp indicates the CPU was at 9C, with a maximum reaching 39C. Unless the room temperature is below 48F, I question the accuracy of Core Temp or any other monitor used. Check out HwMonitor. It appears many are focusing on that outcome. The min and max temperatures are identical, which seems highly unlikely. The speedfan reading is clearly incorrect. Was your CPU or motherboard at -128C? Think about these results from Intel's Burn Test.
Yes, you have an AMD CPU. The key points are the temperatures and related values. Look at the temperature range? Even your voltages seem unusual. I wouldn’t rely on those tools when working with an AMD processor.

best options for an AMD processor. The download link is located in the middle of the page. It provides thermal margins instead of just current temperatures, but they essentially represent the same information. I suppose AMD does share these details to some extent.
Richie1115 believes temperatures below 60C are acceptable. For FX, it's under 55, and for the Athlon and Phenom II chips, it's under 60.
Initially avoid running prime95 for an hour unless you're attempting to fix the thermal paste. A short 3-minute session is sufficient to guarantee 99.9% of games will run smoothly. No game requires nearly all cores, so 55c is acceptable. Maintain it under 55c for three minutes. You might need to lower your NB voltage if you wish to increase it further. What is your heatsink?
Elbert suggests avoiding prolonged use of prime95 to prevent overheating. He recommends a short session of about three minutes to maintain stability across most games. He notes that 55°C is acceptable as long as it stays below that threshold for three minutes. Adjusting the NB voltage might be necessary if you aim for higher temperatures. He also asks about the heatsink temperature and whether the CPU reached the expected minimum of 9°C during testing.
Elbert suggests avoiding running Prime95 for an hour unless you're attempting to fix the thermal paste. He recommends about three minutes of Prime95 to guarantee stable performance across 99.9% of games. Since no game uses nearly all cores, 55°C is acceptable for three minutes. You might need to lower your NB voltage if you want to increase it further. What is your heatsink?

Elbert suggests avoiding prolonged use of prime95 unless specifically trying to test thermal paste performance. A short session of about three minutes should suffice for stable gameplay across 99.9% of cores, as no game uses nearly all cores simultaneously. Keeping the temperature below 55°C for three minutes is recommended. Adjusting NB voltage might be necessary if higher temperatures are observed. What is your heatsink?
Aquielisunari would suggest avoiding running prime95 for an hour unless you're attempting to fix the thermal paste. A short session of about three minutes is enough to guarantee stable performance across 99.9% of games. Since no game uses nearly all cores, 55°C isn't problematic.
