amd fx 8300 with ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0 overclocking guide
It might be useful, but they seem quite small. I don’t know how much it would actually help.
Install those fans and set up 80mm units to blow over them. Even after that, you won’t get very far—these boards heat up too quickly, around 4.4-4.5gz.
That’s what I’m working with on an ASUS M5A97 rev 1.0 motherboard (not the latest version).
The outcome depends on your specific CPU and personal setup. These 8300s are superior to others, but I wouldn't choose the motherboard for overclocking. Aim for around 4.4 and proceed cautiously while keeping an eye on temperatures.
the motherboard doesn't have heatsinks on the vrm's, so overclocking is possible but uncertain. it won't be a fixed 4.7ghz, honestly.
the motherboard lacks heatsinks on the vrm, but it might still overclock; I won’t say exactly how high. Probably not 4.7ghz, that’s uncertain. Can I use Enzotech MOS-C1 C1100 Forged Copper Heatsinks for my mobo since it doesn’t have one? So I could try higher speeds.
It depends on your specific CPU and personal setup. The 8300s are better, but I wouldn't recommend using an OC board for this. I'd estimate around 4.4 and monitor temperatures carefully. You might consider the Enzotech MOS-C1 C1100 Forged Copper Heatsinks if you don't have a heat sink, as it could help with overclocking.

install the fans and set up 80mm units to cool them down, though you won't travel far with these boards—they tend to overheat quickly, around 4.4-4.5gz.

my CPU connector is just a 4-pin, so do I really need an 8-pin one for overclocking? Also, do I have a 95W CPU and a 550W NZXT power supply?
