AMD FX 8350 & asus m5a78l-m/usb3

Just a little enquiry.

I recently got my AMD fx 8350 processor loving It so far. I see it is at 4ghz. Just wondering if I upgrade my cooling solutions to some form of water cooling. If I can overlock and if its really worth the £100+ on a water cooling kit.

Also sorry for "bad grammar" on damn iPad horrible to type on

I can't see you getting far on that board. It only has a 4 pin cpu connector, no vrm cooling and lacks the needed power phases.

Most people on here use a 990FX or good 970 chipset board.

Rather than me taking a guess at which board would be best (Intel user here) have a look at the FX83** overclocking thread. There is loads of good info and settings in there.
