To OC the AMD 8350, at a minimum you want a 140mm radiator in a 2 fan push/pull config.
ex:
Kraken X40 - NZXT with two fans.
Hydro Series? H90 140mm High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler - Hydro Series - Cooling with two fans.
But common practice is that you would go for a minimum of 2x120mm radiator size with at least 2 fans, preferably 4 fans running slower and quieter, to OC a AMD hexcore. This will get you up to 4.7Ghz to 5.0Ghz OC, with low temps and voltage around 1.41 to 1.43 .
ex: Corsair H100, or H100i.
You could also get by with a 'fatboy' 120mm radiator, usually at least 45mm thick, with two fans. But getting to 4.7 will be a struggle with heat dissipation.
