Overclocking a 8350

[slan44]

I am building a gaming pc and I am going to buy a 8350 and I am wondering If I will be able to overclock on the ASRock 990FX Extreme3?

The Board doesn't support the FX8320 or 8350 , the support was pulled because of heat issues.

yeah czar 357 that one is definitely out of my budget and that one looks good blackbird except it doesn't have SLI support. I am willing to spend up to about 150 so any other suggestion for a motherboard I could overclock on?

 

[slan44]

What do you think of these boards?

http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=138_803&products_id=21718

are either of these any good and if so which is better?

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

Get the ASUS , they make better boards.

ok thanks heaps

I don't think I can afford those two so what some cheaper 8+2 power phase boards?
and how would this board http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=138_803&products_id=21323 overclock even though it only has a 6+2 power phase?
