Do you need assistance with overclocking the AMD FX-8350?
It depends on the specific games; sometimes they require high CPU or graphics card power. Overclocking can assist but isn't always effective. Each CPU is unique, so you might need to test with a new cooler until stability is achieved. However, if you're seeing around 200MHz improvement, it probably won't significantly enhance performance.

When would I expect such an increase? Is it safe and beneficial to overclock the RAM on this motherboard to 2133 MHZ? Thanks for your help and patience!

a boost would be significant in changing the system to Intel
you can try overclocking everything as long it runs stable, no risk there if you won´t raise the voltage to heaven
Ok, so I can just boost the ram clock speed and test wthout much risks? I would hate if I would burn my Ram haha! And uh, I am going to try to run the FX-8350 at 4.4/4.5 GHZ.
And yes, my next build will be Intel based. Heard the proccesors are a lot faster. Especially single-core perfrmance. Unfortunately, I learned all this after I bought my new rig.
Hopefully Zen turns out to be good, otherwise it's gonna be Intel next...
Thanks for the warm welcome here! If I ever need something again I'll definitely ask!
Sure, feel free to ask. What is the maximum vcore you should consider?
I used to have your exact chip... You should be able to hit 4.4/4.5 with ease... Now, the bad news is that it won't translate well into games because the FX line isn't great... Yes, they're cheap compared to others, but you end up getting what you pay for here... Don't worry, I was an AMD guy before, but I was really let down by the performance on the FX chips...
I recently built an Intel system and it runs smoothly... Like you, I'm really excited about the Ryzen chip, but AMD has been hype-driven lately and hasn't delivered strong performance yet. I'm hoping to see better data on the Ryzen's performance before making a decision. The FX's issues might have stemmed from a lack of hyper-threading, so having hyper-threading in the Ryzen is a plus...

Other models behave similarly, the MSI Gaming 970 is the same. A +0.000 change will affect the stock 1.4, +.010000 brings it to 1.41 and so on. You'll need higher voltage now because the lower FX CPUs 83xx are grouped at this stage and don't experience extreme overvoltage like before. The FX units also lack strong single-core performance needed for games. You'll notice some improvements but not much. Some i3 Intel CPUs beat the FX 8350 in gaming. AMD isn't ideal for gaming, better suited for rendering and streaming. Intel's strong single-core performance is why they're preferred in gaming. Ryzen has been performing well so far.
