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.

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
