I am looking to overclock my fx 8350 to at least 4.8Ghz on the GA-970A-DS3P mobo as I'm smuggling to get the most out of my R9 Fury x on cpu heavy games. My specs are
Fx 8350
Corsair h100i v2 water-cooled
16gb ram
R9 fury x
Corsair 750watt psu
GA-970A-DS3P
Would this be possible with my set up and if so how difficult as this would be my first time overclocked cheers
 
Solution
The mobo has 4+1 power phase set up, VRMs aren't very good, I'd say around 4.4 would be the most I'd push to and would be monitoring temps the whole time

You could wait for Zen, I myself am hoping it will in fact be 'new' and pose a bit of a challenge to Intel, but my hopes aren't all that high, AMD has a long history of of hyping CPUs, GPUs and other as going to be the best and then the things fall well under expectations and in many cases are simply basic rebranding of older lines/models
