I buy tomorrow this pc:
With cpu: amd fx 8370
And mob: Asus AM3+ Full-ATX M5A97 R2.0
My question is, can i overclock it to 4.2 ghz without hurting anything? ( i will use this cpu cooler: HEATPIPES CPU LC-Power LC-CC-120)
If it is possible, what do i need to do to overclock it to static 4. 2 ghz because i will need it for gaming? ( i don’t have any overclocking experience)

After verifying that the CPU is capable of hitting 4.3Ghz (turbo) out of the box why would you want to downclock it to 4.2Ghz?
This is the processor you are referring to correct? LINK
if it is the same processor you are referring to, then you shouldn’t worry about overclocking it to 4.2Ghz because the processor at default settings will be capable of hitting 4.3Ghz under load.
Hope this gives you an idea.
EDIT: alright after re-reading your post I came to understand that you do not want the CPU to ever be at 4.0Ghz and want it to be on a constant 4.2 / 4.3 Ghz, and yes you are capable of doing that without damaging your system only if you do your changes on the CPU and testing the thermals after that to verify everything is running fine and under reasonable thermals while stress testing.

I agree with BOYD that running at 4. 3 should be very doable with a proper cooling solution as it should only take CPU VID voltage to obtain (maybe slightly higher).
Things to bare in mind would be it only has a 4+2 Phase count and a 140w CPU TDP. This should hold to around 4.5 to 4.6GHz but you’ll want to add a fan to blow across the VRM’s to OC much above 4.3GHz. It may not be easy to OC much above 4.3GHz so keep this in mind.
Run HWInfo64 to monitor volts and temps. Make sure there is plenty of air flow through the case, additional fan/s may be required to keep temps under control.
This will show you how to add your rig sig to help make it easier for those trying to help you http://www.overclock.net/t/1258253/how-to-put-your-rig-in-your-sig

Guys i don’t understand in all of this, are there any tutorials on this forum for overclocking fx 8350/8370 from standard 4ghz to 4.2ghz-4.3ghz?
And if i overclock will it still go to power saving mode when im not gaming?

I have not seen one specifically from stock to turbo as this is fairly easy to do.
This is where I would recommend you start http://www.overclock.net/t/1348623/amd-bulldozer-and-piledriver-overclocking-guide-asus-motherboard
It is more for overclocking in the true sense (pushing things farther than what you’re originally asking about) but it will give you a good starting point to learn from.
Don’t let it intimidated you as we have all been in your shoes when we first started learning how to OC. It takes a little time to learn a few terms and procedures.
I recommend downloading HWInfo64 http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=396589
If you look very near the top (after installing, under the «Maximum» heading) you will find what’s called your CPU VID.
It will be named Core #0 VID, followed by Core #1 VID, Core #2 VID etc. This is what AMD has embedded in your CPU and it tells the bios what voltage your CPU to run at stock. Note; each CPU can have a slightly different CPU VID value, it will be specific for «your» CPU.
Here is a snip of mine, my CPU VID is 1. 475 v. I have rearranged my HWInfo64 and renamed several values to show only what I need, yours will look a slightly different. To view snip full screen click the snip than in lower right hand corner click «Original».
This value gives you a solid base to work from to obtain running your chip at «Turbo» level. It may take slightly more Vcore but you’ll need to test by running a stress test to know for sure what your system will require to run stable.
«And if i overclock will it still go to power saving mode when im not gaming?»
Yes, Cool & Quiet will function as normal.
When stress testing it’s always recommended to disable C&Q till you reach your goal, than simply re-enable it. I always run C&Q.
Take some time and read the tutorial above and feel free to post back with more questions as they come up. They always do

Game Speed
FX-8350
49.3
FX-8370
50.1 (+2%)
Performance in games and similar applications, according to our tests.
The performance of 4 cores, if any, and performance per core has the greatest impact on the result, since most games do not fully use more than 4 cores.
The speed of caches and working with RAM is also important.
Speed in office use
FX-8350
52.1
FX-8370
52.9 (+2%)
Performance in everyday work such as browsers and office programs.
The performance of 1 core has the greatest impact on the result, since most of these applications use only one, ignoring the rest.
Similarly, many professional applications such as various CADs ignore multi-threaded performance.
Speed in heavy applications
FX-8350
29.5
FX-8370
30.8 (+4%)
Performance in resource-intensive tasks that load the maximum 8 cores.
The performance of all cores and their number has the greatest impact on the result, since most of these applications willingly use all the cores and increase the speed accordingly.
At the same time, certain periods of work can be demanding on the performance of one or two cores, for example, applying filters in the editor.
Price
The data is obtained from tests by users who tested their systems with and without overclocking. Thus, you see the average values corresponding to the processor.
Speed of numerical operations
Simple household tasks |
FX-8350 40.7 FX-8370 41.9 (+3%) |
Demanding games and tasks |
FX-8350 23.8 FX-8370 25.2 (+6%) |
Extreme |
FX-8350 6.5 FX-8370 6.9(+6%) |
Different tasks require different CPU strengths. A system with few fast cores and low memory latency will be fine for the vast majority of games, but will be inferior to a system with a lot of slow cores in a rendering scenario.
We believe that a minimum of 4/4 (4 physical cores and 4 threads) processor is suitable for a budget gaming PC. At the same time, some games can load it at 100%, slow down and freeze, and performing any tasks in the background will lead to a drop in FPS.
Ideally, the budget shopper should aim for a minimum of 4/8 and 6/6. A gamer with a big budget can choose between 6/12, 8/8 and 8/16. Processors with 10 and 12 cores can perform well in games with high frequency and fast memory, but are overkill for such tasks. Also, buying for the future is a dubious undertaking, since in a few years many slow cores may not provide sufficient gaming performance.
When choosing a processor for your work, consider how many cores your programs use. For example, photo and video editors can use 1-2 cores when working with filtering, and rendering or converting in the same editors already uses all threads.
Data obtained from tests by users who tested their systems both with overclocking (maximum value in the table) and without (minimum). A typical result is indicated in the middle, the more filled in the color bar, the better the average result among all tested systems.
Benchmarks
Benchmarks were run on stock hardware, that is, without overclocking and with factory settings. Therefore, on overclocked systems, the points can noticeably differ upwards. Also, small performance changes may be due to the BIOS version.

Performance
Cores The total number of physical cores. | 8 | 8 |
ThreadsNumber of threads. The number of logical processor cores that the operating system sees. | 8 | 8 |
Multi-Threading Technology With Intel’s Hyper-threading and AMD’s SMT technology, one physical core is recognized as two logical cores by the operating system, thereby increasing processor performance in multi-threaded applications. | Missing | Missing |
Base frequencyThe guaranteed frequency of all cores (P-cores in the case of the corresponding architecture) of the processor at maximum load. It is important to remember that speed and frequency are not directly related. For example, a new processor at a lower frequency may be faster than an old one at a higher one. | 4 GHz | 4 GHz |
Turbo frequency The maximum frequency of one processor core in turbo mode. Manufacturers allow modern processors to independently increase the frequency of one or more cores under low-threaded loads, due to which performance is noticeably increased. It may depend on the nature of the load, the number of loaded cores, temperature and the specified limits. Significantly affects the speed in games and applications that are demanding on the frequency of the CPU, but do not load all threads. | 4.2 GHz | 4.3 GHz |
Free multiplier Allows you to specify any multiplier, which is convenient for manual overclocking. It’s worth mentioning that old-school multiplier or bus overclocking is a thing of the past. | No data | No data |
BCLK System bus frequency. Some motherboards allow you to achieve a good performance boost by slightly raising the bus frequency. Often this has a bad effect on the stability of the system. | 200 | 200 |
CPU multiplier. The final CPU frequency is determined by the simple formula BCLK * CPU multiplier. Modern processors instantly change the multiplier of each of the cores, taking into account the type of load, temperature, consumption and settings in the BIOS. | 20 | 20 |
TDPThermal Design Power is an indicator that determines the heat dissipation in standard operation. The cooler or water cooling system must be rated for a larger value. Remember that with a factory bus or manual overclocking, TDP increases significantly. | 125 W | 125 W |
Cache and RAM
L1 Cache First level cache. Modern processors use a multi-level cache. The first is the fastest, but the smallest. In the case of an L1 access and a miss, the L2 cache is searched for the next stage. | 384K | 384K |
L2 Cache Second level cache. Holds more data, but is slower. | 8MB | 8MB |
L3 Cache L3 cache. AMD created the Ryzen 7 5800X3D with a record-breaking L3 volume, which reduced the requirements for memory frequency and significantly increased the number of frames in many games. | 8MB (shared) | 8MB (shared) |
Supported type of RAM The type of RAM depends on its frequency and timings (speed), availability, price. | DDR3 Dual-channel |
DDR3 Dual-channel |
Video core
Integrated graphics core Allows you to use your computer without a discrete graphics card. The monitor is connected to the video output on the motherboard. If earlier integrated graphics made it possible to simply work at a computer, today it can replace budget video accelerators and makes it possible to play most games at low settings. | N/A | N/A |
