You might consider overclocking, but proceed with caution.
Would you like to operate the stock heatsink fan at full capacity?
Do you have sufficient time to perform some modifications?

Lapping CPU
If you agree to either of these, anticipate a base frequency of 4.4 GHz.
Begin by ensuring you’re properly grounded—frequently touch a large metal object. Remove your CPU and apply 220, 320, 500, 800, or 1000/1500 grit sandpaper, starting with 220.
Shape the surface of the FX 4350 on a flat area (like your floor or a glass table) until it turns a copper color throughout. Then use 320 in a 45° angle until the 220 lines disappear, continuing with higher grits until you achieve a mirror finish.
Cooling VRMs (essential)
Acquire two 80mm fans and secure them with zip ties—position them on the left side of the CPU (opposite RAM slots) and beneath it (above GPUs). This setup will help cool the VRMs and Northbridge. Secure the zip ties to the case.
Test settings: 1.4V, 200 FSB, 22.0 multiplier.
These temperatures are suitable for stock coolers; 1.4V is the optimal setting.
Also remember to turn off Turbo, APM, C1E, and HPC.
