What temps should i be paying attention to.
with my setup should i be OK to even overclock my CPU in the first place
My MOBO is the Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3, my processor is the AMD FX-8350 and my CPU cooler is the Noctua NH-D14 cooler, should i be safe to start the overclocking at 4.5 GHZ or should i start it at 4.4, and is this a good board to overclock in the first place

First Download thecpu stability testing software prime95 from here :

Overclocking is step by Step method. Don't overclock by any software because overclocking is not the thing that can be done by software. First set the XMP memory profile enabled to set your RAM correctly. Then Go in BIOS and find the CPU clock ratio, this is the multiplier setting. It starts at a multi of A (some no.)x 100(BCLK)(normal factory settings) to give you A Gigahertz. So up it .5 at a time and boot to os and test with P95 for stability and monitor your temps. Do this for approximately 20 minutes. If it passes raise the multi another .5 and try again. You'll get to a point where either P95 won't pass or your temp will gone so high. If the temps gone high you'll have to stop and work on cooling. If P95 fails then go to the Advanced voltage section in bios and add some volts to the CPU VCore . Stay in offset and just add a bit by tapping on the "+" key and test again.
If your temp goes really high them you have to stop amd keep it to cooling. A step will arrive when your P95 never pass or temp immediately go high. Them youJane to stop overclocking and you get your extreme speed of your processor. .... don't forgot to select the best answer....

my MOBO doesnt do overclocking that well and the bios sucks. so i am just not bothering, my performance is very nice and good enough till i upgrade
