Hello, I currently have an fx8150 watercooled and was considering boosting its speed to around 4.3 or 4.5ghz if it's safe. I'm using an asus rog crosshair v formula z motherboard.

First question, what was your motherboard's TDP? Because your FX CPU has a 125W TDP, not all the AM3+ MB slots will be suitable for powering that 125W CPU. For more details, refer to the AMD MB section. https://forums. If you have a solid AM3+ MB, check the linker for overclocking and give it a try. https://www.overclock.net/forum/10-...iv...board.html
