Overclocking Limits with the Asus Formula V 990fx Motherboard

[TheFaceOff]

I ordered a swiftech h320, and I'm waiting for my formula V to come. I have an FX 8350, and wondering how far I can overclock within the thermal margins of it. I currently have an as rock fatal1ty 990fx killer but i advanced rma'd it. So far i can go to 4.6 ghz, it just shuts the computer down at 4.7-4.8 ghz. If I get to 5 ghz with the fx 8350, how hot will it run?

*sorry it's the asus crosshair V formula-z. I am not sure how far I can overclock because so far my motherboard has restricted me with overclocking, hopefully the motherboard can overclock to at least 5 ghz.

That's decent , but I prefer the tooth.

Crosshair with great cooling will help.
