This is going to be more of a reference to my particular chip and how it overclocks vs a discussion on overclocking it.
For those that can't see sigs ->
FX 8320
990fx Sabertooth
GSkill Sniper @1600 x9cl
Seasonic 620w
For the purposes of this log, "tentative stability" is 1 "normal" test on intel burn test, and 15 minutes of prime 95 "blend".
"Stable" is 2+ hours of p95 blend.
Starting with 4.5ghz.
I started with comparing running a straight multiplier vs a FSB multiplier blend. Running straight multiplier (fsb @ 200) @ 22.5, I needed more voltage to get tentative stability than a slight mix. With pure multiplier I need 1.375v to get the system to run tentatively stable, where as with the more FSB multiplier I added, the less voltage I needed to get tentative stability. Until I go past 215, then it started going up again.
This is my usual setup, but I wanted to make sure. Tonight, when I get back from work, I will be trying to find the point of diminishing returns. Where TONS of voltage needs to be added for minimal gains.
I will also pictures of my bios.
