amd fx 8320 overclocking
My PC specifications are as follows: Amd fx 8320 with 3.5ghz, motherboard msi 760gm-p21, graphics card Msi Nvidia 650 gtx ti 1086 mhz core and memory 1425mhz clock. I plan to overclock the CPU to at least 4.4 ghz, but currently it only reaches zero infinity free flow+ cooling. I found an article on vortez.net that suggests this approach, but encountered an issue where the temperature sensor on my CPU isn't working properly—it displays extremely high numbers like 206 degrees during gameplay, jumping from 30 to 60 after a 60-degree spike, while the PC feels unusually cold. I’m unsure which clock speeds or voltages to use and am worried about damaging the hardware. Please advise if you can help prevent any harm.
For those mindful of their budget, the ud3p stands out as the ideal overclocking board for the 8320/8350 CPUs. After confirming its performance on a solid platform, you'll need to invest double for a 990 series model. The 990 chipset includes some features that most users don’t notice, but they still add value. I’ve tested the ud3p in more than a dozen projects with 8320s, achieving a minimum of 4.3GHz and a maximum of 4.8GHz. These numbers are generally CPU-dependent, not board-specific, so your 8320 won’t necessarily hit 4.4GHz—this is unrelated to the board itself. My 8320 consistently runs at 4.3GHz even at less than stock 3.5V. That performance is largely due to the quality of the voltage regulation in the boards. At just €75, it’s an excellent value.
Thank you for your response, it seems the system is already running at 125W without any issues.
Would you like to consider upgrading to a new motherboard?
Did you verify that? It's truly massive and offers excellent cooling performance.
What are the recommended options for purchasing these motherboards? MSI 970 Gaming, ASROCK Fatal1ty 970 Performance, ASROCK 990FX Extreme3, and MSI 970A SLI KRAIT Edition.
