Motherboard: ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0 AM3+ AMD 970 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX
Cpu Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO

I'v added/replaced the 3 above and the graphics card that you see in the picture to this PC

Now I was just looking for some bios settings to put my clock speed pretty much as high as it can go and have temps that are under 40C while idle and under 55C on load. Any reply is appreciated thanks.
 
Solution
The issue with this motherboard is the fact that it has a 4+2 power phase and VRMs are not heatsinked.

To handle the power demand of the Fx 8 cores, you'll need a 8+2 power phase. The 8 cores have a 125w TDP, at load stock can go up to 190w, and overclocked load can go up to 250w. Furthermore, the additional load on the power phase will require heatsink to dissipate the additional heat, which the "LE" lacks.

The 4+2 power phase is really just meant for 95w and lower CPUs, such as the Fx 4 - 6 cores.

Alright I was wondering ,sorry for not replying right away or anything, what would be the dangers of OC on this board? Because the other day I had a random OC setting ,I was messing with on the BIOS was just messing with random stuff, that was pretty good I OC it to 4.4GHZ and I wasn't surpassing 55C while playing games and was right around 40C when idle. I'm talking about the temp that's right above mainboard and says CPU on hwmonitor. This is the temp Im having troubles with. So with this motherboard will I just have trouble with the temps?
