    First time overclocking...screen has been black for like 10 mins is this normal?

    i dont recomend using a piece of software to overclock your computer for you. if you turn it off unplug the pc wait for 30 secs and remove the cmos, this will clear any overclocking settings and then you can attempt to reboot with it back at stock speeds.

    What thermal paste/pad to use for FX8350 cpu and water cooler?!

    In my experience buying a small tube of thermal paste from your local tech store is easier. If you do the thermal paste, put a small pea size dot in the middle (with the CPU installed in the board and the board connected in the box) Also that 600w psu should run your gpu since all the new...
