For you overclockers out there. Could I overclock an FX-8350 with a Hyper 212 EVO in a push-pull fan configuration? I'm running my FX-6300 at 4.4ghz with this setup.

You have it on a much better board.
My 8370 capped at 4.5ghz (also because of motherboard VRM temperature, I was using a m5a97 evo r2.0), so 4.3ghz-4.6ghz sounds about right [emoji4]
Yeah, 4400 MHz was topped out on a Rev. 4 of the OP's board (still have that board), but the 970 Aura seems a lot happier with higher clocks on the 'Dozer.
This is the board I have

There was only one rev for it. It's not the same series board you're referring to. This board came out after that rev version board you're meaning.
Madman you have room to push, my only question is "I was able to run 4.4 ghz at stock." When you say stock do you mean you still have the Cpu voltage on Auto? If so the board is raising the voltage to compensate for the heavier load. You're better off figuring out what it needs manually.I got the FX-8350 today and did a little overclocking with it. This is what I got so far. Running Prime95 for about 30 mins now. Dropped two cores around an hour run time. I had to give the voltage a couple of bumps. I was able to run 4.4 ghz at stock.
