Hi, I have an AMD FX 8300 on an MSI 970 Pro Carbon gaming motherboard. I want to overclock the CPU from its stock speed of 3.3GHz. Any suggestions on how to do that? Thanks, I'm new here and really appreciate your help.

Sorry. I own a Corsair Hydro H80i V2 cooler and my power supply is an Evga 650 GQ.

Excellent performance from the PSU and cooler, just adhere to this guide and continue monitoring; temperatures must stay below 65°C.
