    I personally have one right now and I will most likely return it. I'll give it another week before I return it. Restocking fees are a pain to test out a phone you may or may not like... Oh well, it's understandable why they'd charge it so I don't mind it as much.   Camera is mediocre at best and the screen isn't great... Switching to a HTC One for the better build quality and 1080p screen.

    Get an intel CPU. ROFLMAO
     
    OP.
     
    Leave your Ram speed low 1333-1600.
     
    Look at the voltages under load. It should be about 1.5-1.536. Set your voltage to 1.475 volts and set LLC to Very High. 
     
    Now put the multi to give you 4.7Ghz.
     
    Set FSB to 200 (Not auto)
     
    Run stability tests. Rinse and repeat.
     
    If you dont know much about OCing FXs then try to stick with multi as using FSB will increase ram speed and the requirement for increase CPU NB voltage.

    The OP ALREADY  has a FX-9370 and an ASUS MFA99X EVO R2.0. Why in the WORLD would you recommend him to switch to a completely new platform NOW???
    If he was initially considering on getting a FX-9370, then yes, suggesting him to look into an Intel platform would absolutely be logical.
     
    @flrbyu, the FX-9370 should  perform quite well at stock speeds. Try it out at stock first. If you don't like it, THEN do some overclocking.
    IMO, the H80 is a nice cooler, but I'm not sure if it's up to the task when you start pushing the already insanely fast FX chip.
    I Personally, many of the forums members here as well, would not recommend overclocking via software. Straight from the motherboard BIOS would probably be the best method.

    I'm wanting to overclock my fx 9370 but I'm not sure it would be worth it. I have an H80 closed loop cooler from corsair and it works well at stock clock speeds. The asus mobo I have has a utility but I'm not sure if my cooler can handle it and how would I use the utility and still keep the D.O.C.P. profile or would i have to mess with that too?
