FX - 8320 Overclock

[TheBigWerewolf]

I have oc'd my AMD FX-8320 Black Edition at 4.8ghz with core voltage at 1.450. My temperatures are Idle: 50 Full Load: 79. I have the Aerocool Aero-500 Case with 2x Corsair Quiet Edition High Airflow on Top 2x Corsair Quiet Edition High Airflow in the front and 1 Stock aerocool fan at the back of the case. My cpu cooler is CoolerMaster Hyper TX3 EVO. Should I add to my cpu liquid cooler or I will have the same temps?

That load temp is way to high for the FX chips.
Max temps you want are:
CPU Cores - 62 Celsius
CPU Socket - 72 Celsius

Should I buy a liquid cooler or it will be the same temps?

Try to find a stable oc with lower voltage,also whats your mobo?

Use AMD OverDrive to accurately determine your "Thermal Margin"

---- after removing the stock 125w HSF, you may want to consider pointing a spare fan at the PWM & CPU socket to replace the lost 'side-draft' air flow . . .

Like Thebigwerewolf said, those load temps are way to high, especially for that voltage.

It looks like you've applied your thermal paste wrong or didn't tighten down the cooler enough. Don't use the "pea drop and go" method with Cooler Master coolers. They are grooved and the thermal paste won't move in.

Put a pea-sized amount on your CPU and take a razor blade to spread it evenly before putting on the heatsink. Tighten the heatsink firmly (hand tight plus a 3/4 turn).

My 8320 is currently @ 4.8 Ghz, 1.56 Voltage. Max temp 62'C with an H100 liquid cooler.
