OC FX-8320 w/ H100 cooler - possilbe 5 Ghz ?

[highc1157]

I'm getting an h100 in a few days and hoping to see if I can OC it to 5 Ghz

currently I'm running my 8320 at 4.5 GHz w/ 1.44-1.488 volts, been stable for months.

my rig will be as follows after christmas and wondering if anyone can chime in on tips/voltages/ and such for a possible 5ghz attempt.

RIG:

CPU = AMD FX-8320 CPU @ 4.5 GHz (Current)

GPU = EVGA Ge-Force 760 GTX @ 1170 MHz core clock (thats just the base clock OC, w/ boost goes to 1333mhz) / 7008 MHz mem clock

RAM = 8 GB Corsair Vengeance pro series DDR3 1600 Mhz

HDD= 1TB WD HDD

MOBO = Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 mobo

cpu cooler = H100 (WILL BE - push pull through the two 200mm fans on top of case)

case = NZXT Phantom (black)

PSU = 650W antec earthwatts

Probably less than 1/4 of the 83xx cpus can stabilize 5GHz on air or water due to the high voltages required the the massive amount of heat. Even a dual rad will have difficulty cooling at full load. It's possible though

Asrock 990FX Extreme 9 \ FX8350 \ 5.1GHZ. \ 1.384 VOLTS

Phanteks PH-TC14PE with Scythe Slipstream 110 CFM fans attached.

to be honest never saw anyone hit anything higher than 4.8 without a custom loop on a 8320 or 8350

It's only because , by luck, this chip doesn't need all the voltage to get there.

thanks for the reply

with mys soon to be had cooling setup (the h100)..vs my current cooling (h60), how much do you thikn the temps will drop , provided that I keep the 4.5 GHz OC I have currently been running.

I play BF4 at ultra settings and after an hour's worth of paly or so the temps max out around 58 degrees. I;m curious by how far my temps will drop

also, im only using some cheap thermal paste. I'm also getting some arctic silver 5 so factor that into your decision 😀 ?

Get MX4 thermal paste.
