Woot! Nice one, keep pushing it.

Looks like my 8350 will ship out tomorrow. Probably wont arrive till Monday though.
Good work Passey, is that 53C at 4.5GHz. 1.33V ?

no its set to 1.43V in the bios.
Going to 5.0 ghz tomorrow.
Just realised when I installed windows 8 and updated bios it swapped my HDD to IDE and window s8 doesn't like it being changed even editing the reg.
Looks like I might reinstall windows 8 tomorrow as well and maybe put my HDD's into RAID0. Aiming for 8.1 WEI.
This was it @ 4.5ghz
safe temp is to stay under 62C btw
As long as your core temperature has not exceeded the high side of the 60 degree mark for extended periods of time you should be ok. 62 degrees holds a generous safety net to begin with.
I hope I was able to answer your questions, If you have any more inquiries don't hesitate to contact us.

just managed to get it to boot at 4.8ghz , 200 X 24 @ 1.5V.
Will run some tests to see if its stable.
Couldn't get it to boot @5.0ghz, tried every multiplyer with an fsb from 200 to 220. also upped voltage to 1.51V.
Whats the max safe voltage?

^^ useful info about temps

So you've got 0.1v droop?!
PLL type options for your board?
Any chance you got a note of your batch number? Here's mine;

I'm on the same batch.
Around 1.5v sustained.
Assuming you using the ASR Extreme3
Problem will be the amount of current drawn during the load testing.
If your using water the temps might be acceptable but the load on the VRM's will be significant, the board will probably throttlle the CPU or shut down.

I think my mobo was doing that when i tried to get it to 4.8 @ 1.47V after a couple of mins it downed my multiplyer to X7 until temps dropped 2C then went back up.
Look slike 4.5 ghz due to my mobo.
Still faster than the 8350 for £25 less
Anyone wanting a balls out overclock is probably better off waiting for 8350, I suspect 8320 are binned as such because they can't run at 8350 speeds whilst remaining inside the 125W envelope.
That might also be why they are stuggling with 8350 stock.

It's just more of a gamble trying to get 5ghz out of an 8320 for those reasons. People are hitting that though, you just need to increase your odds of success with a good mobo and enough cooling.
