For the record, I got 5.2 Ghz stable out of my 8350.  :)

I had to scale back to 4.8 becuase its summer and my place gets really hot lol. Also the whole rig sucks close to 400 Watts when idle...lol

yeah.... I wouldn't want ot go over 4.8(I'd just keep the 8350 at stock, it's a good value CPU at what it is right out the box already, for now), the Wattage requirement jumps like a mother fucker once you reach a certain point even on the Intel CPUs.

In my current household arangement, I pay the rent, but gf pays electricity, parking and utilities.

Lets just say that a lot of fuse breakers get tripped in my house... :)

Yeah I hate that.... that's why I don't OC like a crazy person these days unless they are Intel, I have too many machines near me and I have tripped the breaker a few times in the past =_=;
