noobie question,
this is 1st time i bought hi end amd sys, how to sucseccfully overcloock vishera fx8320? what exactly the setting in bios?? which one need disable?

bcoz i just tried overclock use amd overdrive software..auto oc to 4.4ghz. when i play crysis 3, its not smooth, it stutter like very few FPS, but FPS record by FRAPs was ok. and my mobo can't detect my oc hd6950>hd6970 from 2nd bios. only can use default bios 1 (which is 6950 default). before no problem use bios 2 6970 with asus m5a78Lx matx mobo.

proc: fx8320
mobo: sabertooth r2.0 gen2
ram: hyperx 1600Mhz 2x4Gb

thanks sifus

i'd say yes if d upgrade wont caused u an arm & leg. better oc headroom, lower volt needed, improved power consumption, slightly improved imc... however, u need some luck in gettin a better vishera. avoid earlier batch (might not be applicable to all) coz my 1st 8350 was lemon, 2nd one worked alot better.  thumbup.gif
dont use fraps to record game play, iirc d video will be records is @ fixed fps. if i'm not mistaken fraps eat up lotsa cpu power hence d lagginess during game play + fraps running.  smile.gif

for gfx issue could it be gfx driver related?  hmm.gif

not sure about that, but before oc, the game smooth even when i use frap. do i need to disable cool n quiet or something like that when oc vishera? i think something about bios setting but i don't know how, n sabertooth advanced bios setting make me rclxub.gif huhu.

about gfx, i don't think its driver bcoz when i use my asus m5a78-lx, its detect both default bios 1 hd6950 and unlock bios 2 hd6970. when i switch to bios 2 hd6970 + sabertooth, it'll stuck even before i can enter mobo bios, no display at all. n boot device led on mobo will on. n my sabertooth just return from RMA icon_idea.gif
