Ok, so i was wondering how far i could overclock a fx 8320 if i got like a hydro series 70 $ or 100 $ cpu cooler. I may do this as i think if i can overclock it far i can get more out of it then a intel cpu. Either way what is the higest i can get with that? Thanks.

You will also need a good motherboard with strong VRM.

Ok, so if i got a CORSAIR Hydro Series H60 to go with it do you think i could do 4.5-4.8 ghz?

No. You would need a dual radiator like an H100.

How far do you think i could get with the h60?

Stock maybe less. H60 is pretty horrible thin radiator with very little liquid volume. It will quickly become oversaturated with heat.

Is there a cooler doesn't have to be water cooled, just any good cooler out there under 100 $ that could get me to 4.5-48?
