i have an amd fx 8350 and a cooler master hyper 212 evo and i want to know if i am safe to over clock it to 4.5 ghz, i think that i installed the cpu cooler wrong though because when i am in the bios of my pc my cpu is at 40 Celsius and some people can get around 20 celsius on their processor and i dont know if i have done something wrong because i want to overclock my processor.

You should be able to get close to that with the EVO , the board has a decent Digital 6+2 Phase Power Design. < which is a plus with overclocking.

Don't want to pus past 62 degrees.

40 is high with the EVO for idle.

I think it should be a tad lower at idle , maybe a better thermal paste like MX4.

Just see if you can snug it up a tad more.

Be careful.

Doesn't need to be super tight , just snug and flush to the CPU.
