Possibly Upgrading CPU

[The9KGamer]

My current CPU is an AMD Phenom II X6 1055T with a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO cooling it, overclocked to 3.4 ghz. I recently came across some extra money and would be able to upgrade to one of these 5 FX CPUs, preferably not the 8350 unless it's really that big of a difference to the other ones I'm listing.

I'm looking to overclock these as much as I can with my cooler and as for what I do with these it's mostly gaming on my 1080p primary monitor and I like to multi task a lot on my secondary monitor. I was wondering would upgrading be worth the money for my CPU atm or should I just save up?

You did try the CLEAR CMOS jumper right?

I wonder if you smoked a VRM. If that is true, I feel bad for having you OC so aggressively. You could look under the heatsink and inspect the back of the board to look for melting/scorching. Typically it's hard to do on ASUS boards since they have shut-down failsafe.

No worries I knew the risk lol and I'll take this as a lesson for next time 😛, swapped the motherboard to a new MSI Krait z97 and an Intel i7-4790k and everything works good as new now
