Overclocking fx8350 to ~ 4.6ghz, need motherboard help

login100100 · Dec 11, 2013

I'm building my gaming rig and want to overclock my future cpu to ~4.6ghz. I will have Corsair h100i cooling, so there is no problem with that. But i want to know which motherboard could do the job. I know there is mobos like Sabertooth or Crosshair V but i need my motherboard to overclock my CPU to 4.6 not over 5.0ghz. I was thinking about Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 but I'm not sure. It would be nice if mobo would have UEFI Bios but that's not necessary.
Please help me decide!
Thanks in advance

First yes the H100i will do the perfect u can oc to 4.8 even with that

second a board for ocing is asus m5a99fx pro or m5a99x evo 2 .... pro lets you do crossfire/SLI with 2x16 and have sata E

if u got more cash get the asus supertouth 990 chipset http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131877 <<<<

are you sure about that Asrock 990FX Extreme3 will overclock this CPU to ~4.6Ghz? I'm worried because on this phasing list
https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0AgN1D79Joo7tdE9xMUFlMEVWeFhuckJEVF9aMmtpUFE&gid=2
it has only 4+1 phasing count, which i heard of to be not enough for fx-8xxx series

Gigabyte GA-990FXA-ud3 if you want SLI and CF. Otherwise a 970a-ud3p, for about $45 less, will work as it also has 8+2 phase.
