Have a cooler master N520 on a AMD FX 8320 was wondering if this is going to be enough for this cpu, It was installed on my Phenom II BE 965 3.4Ghz x4 CPU. kept that cpu cool. was just concerned about going from 4 cores to 8 cores and not having enough cooling power for the New 8230 CPU. Will my cooler master n520 work good enough even when OCing. or will I need to upgrade to something better and if so what would be the next choice up from my cooler master n520 Thank you

At stock and overclocked to even 4.3 it should be fine, mine overclocked to 4.2 stock voltage and 4.3 with a small bump. If your really pushing it you'll see thermal throttling around 62c on full load. Check with ADIA64 use the free version, install open it, click on computer on the tab inside will be "sensor" click that for temp readings. It's been the most accurate for checking temps
