Hey guys, Have a 8320 that i wanted to overclock so i ordered the akasa venom voodoo from overclockers and managed to get it to 4.5ghz stable. Temps are around 20-24 idle and doesn't go past 50 when on load.
I do think i'd need to upgrade the Mobo in order to overclock it further as mine doesn't have very many options for overclocking power wise, Asus m5a97 LE R2.0 is what i'm using.
It's not a thermal wall, just something that needs tweaked to make it go further. Anything past 4.5 gives a hardware failure message in AIDA64.
Just the multiplier has been changed, FSB hasnt been touched,
NB 2200 and HT is 2400
Think voltage is at 1.4 or 1.45
all power saving options disabled, turbo core disabled.
