Today my hydro H45 is arriving, and i'll pair it up with a FX 8320e on a MSI 970A-g43 Plus. As far as i know the cpu will get as low as 15º idle and 35/40 full load (probably a lil bit higher) and i would like to overclock it until it got to 50/55 full load.

Should i base my overclock on the temps?
Is This Motherboard Any Good For Overclock?
how should i overclock it? how many volts and hz per touch?
to test if i got to my objective, do i need to boot every time and stress the cpu for 5-10min?

i know that maybe it wont get as low as i said
 
Solution
Minimum temps will depend a lot on your ambient room temp. You should install a good temp monitoring program like coretemp or cpu-z. Max cpu temps should not exceed 85-90 C for reliability. Stress test for 45-60 mins.
