[SOLVED] Is this a good overclock (fx 8320)

[JuhaniPelaa]

I OC'd my fx 8320 on an asus sabertooth 990fx r2.0 board with 120mm AIO cooler.
The best I achieved was 4.7Ghz with 1.45v voltage.
What do you think is this a good OC and should I try to go further with maybe a 360mm AIO?

It's not your just cooling, it's your voltage too. With a cpu/mobo that old I'd not really push it further. Supposed 'safe' limits for the FX was 1.55v. I'd be using Amd Overdrive to be checking the thermal margins when gaming. Anything in the high teens to 0 and your OC is about as good as its going to get.

You might be able to overclock farther with a better AIO, but that's a bit of a waste of money. The $150 for better cooling would be better saved towards a far better platform.
