FX-8320E overclosking result
FX-8320E, GIGABYTE GA 990X GAMING SLI
Core voltage around 1.4v
Core speed at 4 GHz
Temperatures during CPU-Z stress test:
CPU - 44°C
Mobo - 51°C
Decision: Avoid higher overclocks; current performance is satisfactory?
Update: Consider keeping at 3.5 GHz since voltage requirements are manageable
4ghz is indicating that the CPU can handle even higher speeds. If you're determined to keep it at 4ghz, pushing beyond 1.4v is unlikely to be necessary for stability, and 1.3-1.35v should suffice.

Dunlop0078:
4ghz is suitable for that CPU, you can definitely go higher. If you really need to keep it at 4ghz for any reason, I doubt you need to increase the voltage by 1.4v to maintain stability; 1.3-1.35v should be enough.
I prefer staying at 4 GHz because my cooler isn't great for OC—Deepcool GAMMAXX 300. Are the temperatures normal?
TheEzio121 shares insights on maintaining stability at 4ghz. They suggest higher voltages aren't necessary and recommend keeping at 1.4v or slightly lower for better performance. The cooler's temperature is normal, and pushing to 4ghz constantly isn't beneficial. Overclocking via multiplier increases heat marginally, but voltage changes have a more significant impact. As long as temperatures stay within safe limits, staying under 62°C per core is ideal.
