AMD FX 8320e Overclocking Help
Hey there,
I'm trying to overclock my AMD FX 8320e. Most online info is limited for the 8230e, which makes it a bit tricky to get exact settings. I have a few questions:
- Is the chip capable of reaching 4.0 GHz? If yes, what values should I aim for?
- If not, what speed would be recommended?
It's also my first overclock attempt, so I'm a bit unsure.
Thanks!
Enter BIOS, turn off Turbo Mode, and adjust the CPU clock multiplier gradually. Restart and perform a stress test using pgm similar to Intel Burn Test, running it ten times. Check for stability. If issues arise, slightly increase the CPU VID (vcore) to regain stability. Monitor core temperatures throughout the process. Each chip will respond differently.

When trying to push overclocking, it's wise to ensure a solid motherboard and proper cooling system are in place.
I recently increased the processor speed over the weekend using a GA-990FXA-UD3. Achieved 4.2 with a multiplier of 21.0. Voltage was set to 1.3125, but the system remained stable at 3.6 GHz with stock voltage. Operating temperature peaked at 56°C, but I'm running on air cooling.
I recently increased the processor speed on a GA-990FXA-UD3 using overclocking. Achieved 4.2 with a multiplier of 21.0. Voltage was set to 1.3125, but stability was confirmed at 18.0 (3.6 GHz) with standard voltage. Maximum temperature reached 56°C under load, but I'm running at air cooling. Sounds successful. Previously, getting the FX-8350 to 4.6 GHz was challenging—reached 4.7 but it was unstable, so I stopped raising the voltage further.
My FX 8320 reaches its thermal threshold at 4.3 ghz. 4.4 ghz is simply excessive. Under load, I see around 1.35v and 1.275 vid. Hyper 212 evo.
The thermal limit is quite typical. The FX-8xxx chip behaves like a furnace. I experienced throttling at 4.6 GHz after making some BIOS adjustments. Multiple "cores" would revert to 14xx MHz. I wish I had kept records so I could replicate this if it occurs again.
Yeah, no issues at 4.3 ghz. It reduces to 1.4 ghz when not under load and hits .825v. Temperatures are stable at 4.3, I'm satisfied with performance and power use.
