not exactly feasible, but it can be pushed to 5ghz and beyond. however, as before, you'll need superior cooling. in my setup i'm using an fx8320 on an msi 990fxa-gd80v2 board, overclocked to 5.1ghz@38c, which usually stays between 26 to 33C. but since it's nearly 100 degrees, it's a bit higher. i'm running a corsair h100i with push and pull mode, plus eight additional fans in the case. using just the multiplier without adjusting the fsb keeps the cpu from overheating completely. once the fsb is engaged, temperatures increase slightly but remain manageable. i've set the voltage at 1.5v pll, 2.99v nb, and 1.22500v, and it runs smoothly without issues.
Not that it's feasible. It can be overclocked to 5ghz, but as before, you need excellent cooling. That means extreme cooling. I'm using an FX8320 on an MSI 990fxa-gd80v2 board with an overclock of 5.1ghz@38c, which usually stays around 26 to 33C, but it's nearly 100 degrees. I'm running a Corsair H100i with push and pull settings plus eight additional fans in the case. Using just the multiplier without touching the FSB keeps the CPU from overheating. Once the FSB is engaged, temperatures rise slightly but not enough to be a concern. The voltage is set at 1.5v PL, 2.99v NB, and 1.22500v, and it runs smoothly.

Not exactly, it's achievable. It can be boosted to 5ghz and beyond. But as before noted, you need excellent cooling. Like extreme cooling. I'm using an FX8320 on an MSI 990fxa-gd80v2 board that's overclocked to 5.1ghz@38c, which usually runs between 26 to 33C, but since it's nearly 100 degrees outside, it's a bit higher. I'm running a Corsair H100i with push and pull settings plus eight additional fans in the case. Using just the multiplier without adjusting the FSB keeps the CPU from overheating completely. Once the FSB is hit, temperatures rise slightly but not enough to be a concern. The voltage is set at 1.5v PL, 2.99v NB, and 1.22500v with stable performance.
I've recently overclocked my 8320 with a 980De3 MOBO at 4.4ghz using 1.4v as recommended in a video I watched. Everything is fine, but I'm hesitant to push further and wonder if adding more fans to the motherboard would help. Thanks for your advice.
