HI

Im gonna buy the AMD FX 8350 and I already have a corsair h100 water cooler what overclocks could I get this cpu to.

I also have a CORSAIR RM1000W psu so I wont really have any problems with overclocking the cpu.
 
if you have a REALLY good chip you could get to like 5ghz. if you have a bad one. then you wont get to 5ghz no matter what you do...
as above its not the batch of cpu's its the actuall cpu you have.
also amd tend t take all the good 8350's and turn them in to 9590's now so chances of getting one that can oc to 5ghz is next to nothing. because amd took them all clocked them to 5ghz and stamped 9590 on the box.

but over clocking a amd cpu needs a mother board with Good power phase.
so if you have a 4+1 power phaze board you may never get above stock speeds. or if you do it will throttle when in use because of the power phaze.

so yep as above we cant tell you because its dependant on the chip.
and even if you get a great chip you may never be able to over clock it worth a damn because your mother board is only 4+1..
(those are the 2 main points about amd overclocking though)

my mobo has a 8+2 power phase. plz can you tell me what does the power phase do and what it is.
TY FOR HELP

If provides cleaner and more stable power the more phases you have. In theory, the more phases, the better the power delivery. The thing is that the quality of the components on the power phases also matters. I wouldnt mind it too much if I were you.

Power phases regulate and deliver power to the cpu. from what i remember 1 power phase consists of 1 choke and 2 mofsets and 1 capacitor
In your case your motherboard has 8 power phases for the cpu, and 2 for the ram, which is very good for overclocking. The power to the cpu is spread out across 8 power phases on your motherboard.

I have 4+1 power phase which means that my motherboard won't overclock as well as yours. on my motherboard the power to the cpu will be spread across 4 power phases so i will get much more heat than you (x2 in ideal world) and the voltage will be less stable which will cause instability in overclocks. You will be able to supply more and more stable voltage.
