Is your overclocking on your FX 8320 secure?
Is your overclocking on your FX 8320 secure?
Hey there, i'm checking my FX 8320 running at 5 ghz @1.488v... Under stress tests, temps hit a peak of 61 for the motherboard socket and 54 for the 55 socket. Once stress testing, temps settle at their highest levels. In gaming, core temps average around 40c while the socket stays at 50.
I'm wondering if this setup will keep the CPU running for more years. I'm using less than 500 hours a year and want to make sure it lasts. Any advice from someone with experience using an OC for a long time? Thanks a lot!
If you're wondering whether the CPU will remain functional for five years after being overclocked to 5Ghz, it's uncertain. You're essentially testing its durability under extreme conditions. Running the CPU beyond its factory-set speed limits increases stress on it, potentially accelerating wear. The only reliable indicator will be time itself, as overclocking accelerates the degradation of integrated circuits. For more details on how this affects circuit pathways, you can refer to the Wikipedia page on electromigration.
