Hello every1,so i overclocked this grandpa today and tested with prime95, cinebanch,checked temp.I didn't modified any voltage just the multiplier,disabled the boost option from bios and disabled the cool'n'quiet aswell.I had good temp around 43-44C in 20 min's of stress test in prime95 but had to stop the test becouse i got a error.If any1 could advice me about this,i'll be gratefull.I will come back with more details about my PC once some1 will see this post.Thank you!!

Welcome aboard. My advice is: There are a bunch of FX overclocking guides, pick one and start experimenting.

The fast answer to what you posted, is that you need to bump the CPU voltage since you only changed the multiplier. But with a good overclocking board i.e. hardware and UEFI being up to the task, you can micromanage the heck out of an FX overclock. As mentioned, others have done all the work already, and you just need to see where your FX falls in the silicon lottery. The guides will show you how to get the maximum performance out of the CPU, ram, and board.

Happy to try to answer any questions, but we will need your full system specs.

To overclock FX cpu's you need good case airflow, good cpu cooling and a very stout motherboard. As said above you need more vcore. I also want to add that that cpu should be good to at least 4.8 GHz.

Neither your cooler nor your motherboard are up to the task of a 125 watt cpu that may pull 250 watts from the wall with a good overclock. . There isn't really any mass to the cooler and your board can't deliver the clean power the cpu needs. You need a good 970 or 990 chipset board and some of them even fall short. It doesn't even have a heatsink over the paltry vrm's. My advice would be to run it at stock. Your psu is a mystery.

Better to undervolt it at 4 GHz instead of trying to overclock it. Vishera is not really worth the trouble anymore.

Also, you have one of those nJoy PSUs? I can't find a proper review on those anywhere. Wouldn't have gotten one of those.

Vishera was typically overvolted at factory settings to support its weak core turbo function. If you disabled turbo when you raised the multiplier,you should be fine. I recall from years ago I could actually even undervolt my very old FX-8320 while raising its base freq to 4.1.
