Hello, I just finished my build and have a AMD FX 9370 in an ASUS Crosshair V Formula z Mobo. I have a Corsair H60 Liquid cooling system, but the thing im worried about is my psu, a corsair cx750m 80+ bronze. Should I upgrade to 80+ gold before even attempting overclocking?

Also if you could leave my little instructions on how to go about it and what are safe temps and dangerous temps to look out for that'd be so helpful. Looking to learn just need to be shown the right way. Thanks for your time.

The rest of my specs are in my signature if you need them.

Although the CX line of PSUs from Corsair are known to have poor grade capacitors, 750W should be sufficient unless you have a high wattage gfx card or two. But I don't think you are going to get much more out of the 220W FX-9370. It is a Piledriver CPU that is already nearly at its extreme for OC'ing as it comes out of the box. And I'm pretty sure the 120mm radiator C60 won't do the job for cooling. It's barely enough for my 125W FX-8350 overclocked.
