AMD K10 OVERCLOCKING FULL

AMD K10 OVERCLOCKING FULL

Full disclosure, I have never used their heatsinks but all of my GPU's and past two motherboards have been EVGA, so I have a slight preference towards them just because they have always given me zero issues on those two components, and updating firmware and BIOS has always been a smooth process. I also found a decent looking heatsink by EVGA, but it is out of stock. I just quickly Googled your CPU's socket type, which is FM2+ if I am not mistaken, then went to NewEgg real quick, looked at heatsinks, typed in FM2+, and got this as a result, but it only lists FM2, so not sure if that means it will in fact work or not.

Something like this I believe would work for you, but do not quote me on that please. They will not break the budget, are 'mid-range' but have always done the job for me. I have always had good luck with Thermaltake heatsinks. Please only post if the CPU is running happily at that clock speed and is not regularly overheating etc - it is stable and on the stock cooler.ДЄs an additional thing, if you overclock an A10-7850K on a non-stock cooler please also indicate what overclock you have applied and which cooler is in use for my information. Please indicate below what you are running your A10-7850K at on the stock cooler and with how many case fans this is with. I am using the Corsair Carbide 200R case which is well-ventilated despite only including 2 120mm fans in the box - I will be upgrading these and filling all 8 fan mounts with a mixture of 120mm and 140mm from the Corsair AirSeries very soon so case cooling isn't a problem. I am wondering what the highest overclock people have achieved on this CPU is on the stock cooler as I am unable to afford a better one just yet. The motherboard I am using is the ASRock FM2A88X Extreme4+. I am about to complete my first build using an AMD A10-7850K - base clock of 3.7GHz, turbo to 4.1GHz.
