Check how to reach 5ghz on your Amd Fx-8350 OC with Asus M5a97 r2.0 motherboard.
Hello, I'm checking if it's feasible to overclock the AMD FX-8350 to 5Ghz. I have a working build with a solid liquid cooler. My setup includes an NZXT Kraken X41 140mm CPU cooler, 16GB DDR3 RAM, a GeForce GTX 1060, and a robust motherboard. The power supply is a 600W standard unit. Yes, it's achievable, I've successfully overclocked a similar model before. For detailed steps, feel free to reach out and I'll walk you through it.
LouieSmith66 is asking if it's feasible to overclock an AMD FX-8350 to 5Ghz. They mention having a custom build with a solid liquid cooler and a good motherboard setup. The response confirms it's possible, shares their own experience with similar tasks, and highlights the superior design of their board compared to a more basic one.
LouieSmith66 is asking if it's feasible to overclock an AMD FX-8350 to 5Ghz. They mention having a built system with a good liquid cooler and specific components. They also reference past success with an 8320 and offer assistance, highlighting the difference in board quality and thermal management.
You're not assisting him by suggesting 5ghz is feasible; doing so could endanger him if he attempts it and loses his board.

You're not helping him out by telling him 5ghz is possible, in fact you will be hurting him if he tries that and kills his board.
I'm just a beginner and now I think 5ghz is too high since my mobo is not that great but I would like to get around 4.5-8 just so my gpu bottleneck
Here is a good guide, your board has the same or similar bios used to make the guide so it should be easy to follow:

I would do some research of your own as well. Be careful with the voltages, that board does not have the most robust power delivery setup. You should (this differs with every chip) be able to get 4.4-4.6ghz around 1.4-1.45v core voltage I wouldn't go any higher than that, 1.45v might be pushing it as it is. Keep an eye on temps.

I am in the process of buying it and still have the chance to change mobo -
Which one is good
2510ASUS M5A97 R2.0 -- AMD 970 w/ 2x PCIe x16, 2x USB 3.0, 6x USB 2.0
Gigabyte GA-970A-D3P -- AMD 970+5
GIGABYTE GA-970-GAMING-SLI -- 2x PCI Express x16, 2x USB 3.1, 4x USB 3.0, 1x M.2, DDR4 Memory+16
Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 R5 -- 4x PCIe 2.0 x16, 2x USB 3.0, 8x USB 2.0, DDR3 Memory+58
Are you still working on everything else? Since truth be told, I wouldn't suggest an AMD CPU in this situation, assuming you already have it covered. To address your query, the Gigabyte GA-990FXA is the sole board I'd purchase with the aim of overclocking.
