Things to note about overclocking an 8350.

• Keep everything as cool as possible, VRM is the most important the CPU socket the 2nd.
• Pair it with fast RAM with low Latency
• Head over to the overclock.net 8350 owners club, you'll find guides and pages upon pages of information in great detail.
• The biggest issue with the FX platform was motherboards lacking good VRM to feed the hungry chips.
• The cpu will only really start to wake up around 4.8ghz

Good luck and I miss mine

I also have an FX-8350 and I really like the Corsair H55. It is about $15 US over budget but super quiet and keeps the CPU at around 20-30C depending on room temp with an overclock to 4.5 Ghz.
