Hello.
I'm checking if the DeepCool MAELSTROM 240T can manage the increased heat after boosting the fx8320 to 5ghz. I've already reached 4.4ghz and am worried about overheating. I did some research last night and think it might be due to my old CM 120mm AIO watercooler. You might want to consider other options under 80€ if you need something more efficient.

Hell with 5GHZ, opt for 8GHZ like that person did:http://wccftech.com/amds-fx8320-overclocked-massively-8172-mhz-fx8350-crosses-8-ghz-barrier/ In reality, you'll find 5Ghz hard to get because of the huge heat it produces at those frequencies. I've heard a lot from Tom Hardware folks discussing this. Check out this thread:
