Need Help Overclocking AMD Fx 8350 to 4.8Ghz

[Muhammet Topcu]

Hello guys,
First of all, I recently heard on Tom's hardware that my Cpu is a bottleneck for my EVGA GTX 970 SC edition. Now i want to OC it to 4.8Ghz, My Watercooling system is the
Enermax Liqmax II 120S. I didn't Oc my cpu before, I just overclocked my old Gpu
(Gtx 750Ti). Never oc'ed a cpu before. I just Auto-Overclocked my cpu to 4.3Ghz. Now my temps are 29-32 Celsius on idle and 39-48 on Heavy gaming. I want to Oc my cpu to 4.8Ghz. What should i do? What are the steps? Thanks for all the help.

Guys Guys, Listen to me. I just OC'ed to 4.62GHZ and tested Total War Rome 2 (A Very UnOptimized Game). I played it on HIGH for 60Fps,
Now on the benchmark test with 4.62GHZ on EXTREME Graphics I get 62 Average OverAll FPS. MAX Cpu temp I got is 45Degrees Celsius, I am looking forward to 4.8Ghz , What I mean is , Yes I got a little bit FPS improvement, Also tested WOT Max Graphics Vsync On never drops to 59.9FPS, 60FPS Constantly, Vsync off I get 62 to 70 Fps, With VSync on I will get 53 FPS on big cities or detailed maps. I am glad I could do this, From now on no bluescreens or anything like that, I will post more if I successfully get 4.8Ghz or maybe even More....

I just tried that wot game, seems fun! i'll play more. congrats on getting things worked out

4.8Ghz seems Unstable, Max Stable Is 4.71Ghz right now, I am gonna Run Prime95 for a couple of hours like 2 or 3. (For those who don't know what prime95 is, Its a software to Fully load your CPU to 95 or even 100% usage for CPU Benchmarking and this is getting you MaX Temps like 69Degrees for 3 Hours, one you've done this you'r ready to go and successfully overclocked and stabled your CPU)
