Voltage settings and clock adjustments for the FX-8120 overclocking?

Throttling is NOT a normal thing. There is a setting called HPC in bios i believe that will prevent your cpu from throttling. Although it will make your pc run hotter. I suggest finding an overclock that does not throttle your pc. Also find out the max temperatures for your cpu core and socket. I think the 58c reading is from the socket. Throttling at 58c is a little bit conservative imo.
UPDATE: HPC mode didn't have an impact. Started to throttle after 10 minutes again. I'm stumped!
Crawlver shared his thoughts on the issue. He mentioned that throttling isn't typical and suggested checking the HPC setting in BIOS, which might stop the CPU from throttling but could cause overheating. He also recommended looking up the maximum temperatures for the CPU core and socket, noting the 58C reading likely comes from the socket. He expressed confusion about why the CPU would throttle at that temperature.

I be perfectly honest mate, I can't really see why it would work. I'm sure as jp95 stated, HPC would work in some scenarios but I can't see why the CPU would NOT throttle itself in order to preserve itself from being damaged by heat.
Okay then, thanks!
Hey there, I'm not sure if you figured it out, but I think it's your motherboard. I haven't managed to solve it before. I don't notice any throttling in games, which is important, but I agree with you — my motherboard isn't suitable for overclocking. Unfortunately, I've had some issues with AMD and have been considering 7th Gen Intel options with a new Z270 board. Thanks for the response!
