fx 8320 looking promising?
Hello everyone, I believe I have a decent chip, but couldn't test it further due to poor airflow in the case. It's not the best H60 cooler, but it's running at 4.6ghz with a BIOS core voltage of 1.325v and under load at 1.368v. A 5.0ghz test looks promising. What do you think? The motherboard is the ASRock Extreme 4 990fx. http://valid.x86.fr/5np1gc
It seems likely the temperatures will fluctuate significantly at higher voltages.

CountMike shared his thoughts on the topic. He mentioned that temperatures will likely increase significantly with higher voltages. He also noted that improving airflow is the first priority, and currently the design uses an NZXT H440. He expects a transition to a Corsair 730T soon. The second focus will be enhancing cooling solutions.
