Overclocking FX 8320 on MSI 970A G45

Ensure you cool the mosfets though brother... Anyone smell burning>? lol

Eh, he's a lot better off with the UD3, more power phases, actually heatsinked VRM, no big warnings everywhere about the board catching fire from being 4+1/125w like his old one ;)
 
4.4 Ghz huh? I wasnt going to open a thread to see if I could get my pc to 3.0 Ghz on stock cooling but I am now :D
 
Well the Gigabyte board definitely made a difference now that I got around to pushing it. I'm now at 4.5GHz with a 1.3875 voltage and it seems to be stable so far. Temps are getting close to 60 at load. I ran it for 2 weeks or so using the automatic voltage at 4.2GHz, which was the max I could get on my MSI board.
