Is my overclock good enough?

[Brett Beatty]

So I recently learned how to manually oc my cpu.

I have an fx 8320 which I currently have oc'd just shy of 4.6ghz. I realize this is a pretty decent speed but should I push for more? I fear I may have hit my thermal wall also.

4.6 is about the average, the only time I would push it further then that is if you feel like your temps are good enough that you can push it higher and get it more stable. Also select games and applications will have benefit from high clock speeds. just do some research on the games that you play and see if they do, or do not take advantage of higher clock speeds.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm pretty sure I hit my thermal limit with current set up. It's very stabile as well, I prim95'd it for half hour with no failed cores.

I'll probably just leave it for now

Yeah if you don't already a 120x2 radiator from corsair works sick for overclocking those
