Hello there. Here’s the updated version:

Hello there. I have the next desktop configuration ready:
amd fx8320 (not 8320e) 3.5ghz
kingston hyperxfury 2x8gb 1866mhz
zotac gtx 1060 3gb amp edition
asus m5a97 r2.0
ssd team l7 evo 60gb 2.5" sata3 tlc (OS)
toshiba p300 1tb 7200rpm 64mb (games/soft)
power supply 650w
os win10/64

Question #1: Which option performs better with this CPU and memory setup? Right now I’m using a stock fan with minor core overclock, but I’m unsure about upgrading.
a) zalman cnps10x performa+
b) cooler master hyper 212x
c) thermalright true spirit 90m

Question #2: What safe maximum frequency can I reach here? The official site mentions the motherboard can’t detect memory frequencies above 2133mhz, but a Dd3 cap of 2400 seems possible. Would 650w power be sufficient for this kind of overclock?

It's unclear what overclocking level you could achieve with the CoolerMaster Hyper 212x, but 2133 might be possible on certain AMD systems and a 650W power supply is sufficient.

What concerns you about the northbridge frequency? 2600 is acceptable or should it be avoided? I believe the fx8320 can detect a 2400mhz frequency on RAM, but I'm not sure if the motherboard can recognize it. The ASUS specs mention 4 x DIMM with a max of 32GB, DDR3 2133(O.C.)/1866*1600/1333/1066 MHz ECC, non-ECC, un-buffered memory.
