Amd fx-8350 ????

[Jerry Johnson]

Quick question..I have an fx6300 and want to upgrade to the 8350. I have a sapphire 7870 graphics card, 550w psu, 16ram, and an asus m5a97 mobo. Will i be ok and what is an easy effective liquid cooler for the 8350?

what M5A97 mobo? is it LE or something else? you will be good with the CoolerMaster Hyper 212 EVO CPU Cooler i have that with the same procesor you want which is overclocked to 4.45GHz my max temps are 57c or something like that

I had an 8320 @ 4.4 with a lowly 212 evo (4.5 and increased voltages pushed temps over the safety threshold). Same motherboard as you, mine died on me from that overclock. So just be careful, I probably wouldn't push it past 4.4-4.5.
