Hyper 212, does it still hold up?

[Patsy]

Hey guys, really need to overclock my cpu for a couple weeks, to meet a deadline on a 3d animation project. The software uses solely the cpu for rendering, so thought it might quicken up if i do some overclocking goodness. 
Question, their isn't much cooling options when it comes to air where I live, but i do know my local stocks the hyper 212x, are these good enough to overclock an fx8350? 

can someone also tell if this is a stable board to overclock on, 

Gigabyte GA-970A-D3P

Not really, I would look for alternatives if possible. Deepcool Gammaxx 400, Cryorig H7, Raijintek Themis / Ereboss, Thermalright Macho (any version). Scythe Kotetsu

Mobo looks fine to overclock on.

It is good if you plan on running stock speeds, but for overclocking you are out of luck. Try water cooling if you can, i recommend cosair.

A 212X will allow you a small overclock honestly, as long as temps don't go super high

I have always hated stock fans, whenever i receive one i through it over my fence.

$240 doe, might have to wait till i get paid lol, but that'll be after the projects finished, so no point.

Well patience is key when doing stuff with pc's, specifically when you are on a budget. It is all worth it when it is finished and paid off.

The deepcool AIO is fine, see if you can get it for less than the Corsair (take the cheapest honestly). And preferably a 240mm since the 120mm AIOs aren't so good.

Ow, don't pay that much for cooling!

Which Cryorig?

jokess, i only have an 8320, no 8350 silicon lottery for me.

the deepcool aio, is 100 cheaper then the h100i, think around $160 for the 240

That's not terrible, pick that up if you want a liquid cooler

but i feel if i'm going liquid, aio are a bit of a beat around the bush? like might as well go for the real deal, but then i don't have a fancy case that can display all of my sik piping skills.

Nah custom loops cost a lot of money

you know what, im just gonna say fuck it with this overclocking, and save up and build a new rig done properly.

If you wait a couple months, we'll have new CPUs from AMD that might be a good value proposition
