I've had an FX8350 chip for a while now and have been hesitant to OC because I'm on stock cpu cooler. I don't really want to increase the voltage because I know it will drastically increase the temps, but my chip came stock at 1.375v and I have read about people getting up to 4.5GHz on this voltage. Before overclocking I was looking to find some information, particularly an approximation as to how much hotter my chip could get on a stock cooler if I increased the frequency but not the voltage.
Also are there any cost effective coolers someone might recommend in the event that I will need one to stay within reasonable temps? (Preferably one that is easy to mount as I am inexperienced)
CPU: FX8350
MOBO: MSI 970a-g46
