Question about overclocking an AMD FX-8350 and proper cooling.
Hello everyone,
I am currently thinking about overclocking my new processor. To be quite honest I am a little new to overclocking and just wanted to get a few questions answered before I decide to start.
I'm thinking about overclocking from 4.0 GHz to 5.0 GHz. Is this feasible? My main concern is proper cooling and this is where it gets a little complicated, I do not want anything to do with liquid cooling (to be honest, the thought alone is unsettling). Are there any Air coolers that will fit my case (NZXT lexa s) and cool my processor enough to keep it stable at 5.0 GHz?
Also, at idle my processor runs at about 12.7 C (around 55 F).
Thank you for your time,
Artaeus
