Overclock FX 8320 on MSI 760GMA-P34 (FX) (MS-7641)
It's quite warm for the FX-8320. The highest safe temperature is 61.1°C.
The aluminum brick cooler has a TDP of 95W. If you want to upgrade to the 125W FX-8350 specs, you'll need at least a 4-heat pipe cooler or a better aftermarket solution. Avoid running it above stock clocks with the standard cooler.
You probably didn't overclock it using the default settings.
If this is your setup:

it isn't ideal for major overclocking. Limited phase power and no heat sink on the VRMs are some factors. As performance increases, power consumption will also rise. This is your own responsibility.
Given the board's compatibility with 125W CPUs like the FX-8350, consider aiming for that clock speed as your limit. Monitor temperatures closely and ensure you're using a reliable power supply. Cheap options often have poor stability and may harm your system.
I have a Corsair CX750M. Would you consider overclocking it to match an 8350's speed? Also, do you think the built-in cooler is sufficient? The PSU should handle it. For the cooler, the FX-8320 with four heat pipes or the small aluminum brick—whichever comes with it?

Regarding the cooling solution, the stock one seems adequate. Which model comes with the FX-8320—4 heat pipes or the smaller aluminum block? I upgraded to the aluminum version myself and boosted it to 4 GHz. After a 30-minute Prime95 stress test, it ran smoothly with a maximum temperature of 70°C.

You probably didn't overclock it and didn't install a cooler. The original package seems to include the 125W cooler.
