Personally i think a higher end motherboard is really sufficient for a stable overclock above 4.3ghz base clock. Putting these VRMs under more heat will just reduce the life time expectancy. I know its sad news knowing that your motherboard isnt very overclocking friend but i know the feeling :'(

BTW what parts of the motherboard exactly did you heatsink?

Stock speeds the single score score is 1.1 Multicore is 6.9 I dont think 5ghz on 4 cores will benefit much because based on the architecture of the CPU, the cpu is actually 4 modules and 8 cores. so youre actually using 2 modules which is 4 cores (these cores share some cache or something) for...

Are you sure you have the right scores? For reference here is a thread i found on cinebench scores that include the fx 8350 http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2012/11/06/amd-fx-8350-review/3 Yes some of them well give larger gains and a finer tune for the overclock...

Yeah my socket temps can get quite high so i may need to ghetto mount a fan there but i will need to take a look at it. I don't really like the idea of drilling holes there. Cinebench with max temps (cpu and socket) and voltage would be amazing! I think if i up the cooling in my case overall i...

Oh okay that's a great idea! I will have to see if i can find some thermal paste or thermal pads for cheap. Im just really curious about the single threaded performance since FX chips lack behind on that in comparison to intel solutions. Cinebench is a good place to start as it gives you a...

Im really curious about this heat sink you made! Looks nice! what material, size and what does it cover on the motherboard? Where exactly does the first fan point to? Benchmarks and temps would be amazing of the 5ghz with 4 cores
