Poco242, I cannot count the times people have come on this forum trying to run a Fx 8xxx on a low end motherboard and have had nothing but issues. The Fx 8xxx is a totally different animal then the 9xx phenoms. I had my 955 on a M5A99X Evo motherboard and it ran like a champ on it, had it to 4.3 stable on H2O and as high as 4600+. My 8350 was a totally different story, I could do 4.4 stable but that was it, the Vrm section on the M5A99X Evo is only 6+2 power phases and it just isn't stout enough to supply enough voltage to run all 8 cores above 4.4 stable. The M5A99X Evo is a much better board then the M5A97 R2.0 which only has 4+2 power phases. You would be lucky if it ran well at stock settings, forget about overclocking it on that board.
From following your work on the 965 I see already you have the bug. If you really plan on getting an 8XXX do it right the first time. They are a hell of a lot of fun to overclock but you need to be prepared if you're going to try and put you foot on it's neck. They require nothing short of a High end motherboard and cooling, cooling, cooling. Not one of us that push the pee out of these things, I'm talking 5.0 + do it on anything less then a full custom loop. If you are only looking to mildly overclock it then I would recommend a M5A99X evo or 990fx pro board but you will be limited on how far you will be able to push it stable.
