Hello,im trying to overclock and fx 8320 cpu whit 16gb ram(hyperX) on M5A97 R2.0 to atleast 4ghz or 4.3
I need suggestion whit bios configs,at this moment i have it whit 3,8 ghz on psu from high power whit 750w. Thanks anticipated

Which CPU cooler ? On OEM one you won't get far.
OC is straight forward, just raise multiplier a notch and test, when it gets unstable raise voltage a notch etc. until you hit heat limits.

With that motherboard overclocking is likely to be very limited without running into VRM issues.

idk exactly i buy it from secound hand but i have it on 100% whit 4500RPM, How about an 1.4 voltage maybe?

you mean i should put more voltage?

He probably meant that MB can't produce enough power but for small OC it shouldn't be a problem for 8320.
Try it like I said but watch out for temperature, no more than 60c of core temps.

No. The motherboard uses a weak 4+2 vrm design. It is not as bad as others as it does have a hestsink but there is a chance the vrm's will overheat and throttle the cpu. You can try but take small steps and lookout for the cpu speed dropping. Adding more voltage would make it worse if it starts to happen.
