Holy moly, mega FPS increase after overclocking my 8320.

So... people always make fun of me for having an FX-8320 that is hardline watercooled. I did it for the experience and I wanted something different, I knew upgrading to Haswell would be worth it and such but Haswell just isn't surprising you know? Anyway, I was planning on upgrading to Skylake but with some money issues, no job I'll be waiting after Skylake before I upgrade my GPUs and CPU.

I play all my games in 3D with 3D Vision, before watercooling I was running @ 4Ghz on my 8320. I forget what my 760s were running at but I got around the same overclock as before, maybe a LITTLE higher. I've always had issues with GRID 2 and a few other games stuttering even on LOW settings. I maxed out at around 27 - 30FPS in GRID 2 maxed @ 3D. After watercooling I was able to get the FX-8320 to a stable 4.8Ghz and my GPUs a tiny bit further but I maxed out GRID 2 and HOLY BALLS I now hit 65FPS! Goes to show the 8320 is still kicking... kinda haha I bought this thing when it first launched for $100.

For now, I should be good for a year then I'll have to give it to my brother and build him a PC with my old R7770. DO NOT BUY ANY FX PROCESSORS RIGHT NOW, YOU'LL REGRET IT IN THE FUTURE.

Pics of my rig, enjoy m8s. (Dark blue, not purple blame my camera and uv light.)
