Hi everyone , so as the thread title says , i want to do some upgrading in the old pc.
current specs are Phenom 2 x4 965 be with stock cooler , Asrock 970 extreme 3 , 8gb corsair vengeance high profile ( yeah no need for the radiator but , wanted it for the looks) , r9 280x sapphire, corsair rm750 , all in an CM HAF X.
i was looking to buy the fx 8300 and an CM 212x or evo.
Question was regarding the fact that the mobo has 4+1 phases and i've read that it could have problems with the cpu because of vrm overheat even though it is listed as compatible on asrocks mobo page, and i was wondering if it would run the cpu in either stock freq or oc to an fx 8350's freq.
soo would you recommend the upgrade ? i've no budget for another mobo since that would have solved the problem completely . also would the 212x actualy have an impact in cooling the vrm or should i be looking for an blowdown type of cooler ?
Thanks in advance !
