Can I overclock my FX 8320 on my Gigabyte M68MT-S2?

As the title says, I was wondering if I could overclock my 8320 on this board and if so how could I?

Thanks.

Hi and welcome to Tom´s forum.

You can overclock with that motherboard but I will really suggest you don't do it. The model that you have is designed for basic use and not for overclock, can handle just basic things and PWM regulation isn't the best.

what motherboard do you recommend I get but I only want to spend 70 pounds (would have put the symbol but my keyboard just changed it layout for some reason)

970 or 990 motherboard should work
I have this motherboad and was able to overclock my 8350 to 4.5

This is also a great motherboard

Would be perfect, those are a little above of your budget but are very good for overclock
