Corsair h60 Fx 8350 Overclocking Estimates

[GavinPl4yz]

So I am just curious as to how far I could potentially push my CPU with my current setup
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/WvXh3b
I'd like a few estimates
1. Stock voltage
2. 5.0 GHZ
3. Max you can estimate I can do

I personally like to keep all my hardware under 70C so if that can be accomplished that would be great.
I've ran Adia 64 Extreme for about an hour and the max I got was

Thanks,
Gavin

AMD FX CPUs need to be kept under 63C. 70C is an early death.

The H60 isn't great. The Hyper 212 Evo beats it.

Every chip is different. Your best bet is to find a guide for your specific motherboard. That's a 970 chipset board so it's probably not going to be a great overclocker.

Is the hyper 212 Evo really better than the h60?
I "Upgraded" from the 212 to the h60...

212 Evo is better than h60. h60 is just a bit less noisy, that's all.

As a whole - the rule should be - any AIO liquid cooler below 100 USD will be worse overall than air cooling at lower price. Like 75 bucks air cooler (which is like top of the line premium air) will mop the floor with 100 bucks AIO cooler.

I think it's valuable experience to read a bunch of comprehensive reviews very carefully before buying computer related stuff.

All the info is one Google away.

I looked at the reviews on builds from pcpartpicker but never actually did the research as to how well it performed because I assumed a water cooled cpu was better than an air cooled one. Unfortunately, I cannot go back to the 212 as I have to destroy one of the mounting screws to fit the radiator in my case.

Well I appreciate your time and information on my stupid decision
