Can the ASUS m5 a97 r2 motherboard support overclocking?
I need to check if your motherboard supports the overclocking. You have a R9 270x GPU and an AMD FX 8350 processor. Also, a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo fan seems sufficient for keeping your CPU at safe temperatures. Please let me know.
You're welcome to make changes to that board, but don't expect huge improvements. The 212 EVO should work well, and I've tested the 8370 at 4.6 with stable temperatures. Your specific goals will matter a lot here.
