a4 5300 3.4ghz to 3.8ghz

[yumyumyum]

is this safe i OC my a4 5300 from 3.4ghz(max turbo off) to 3.8ghz with
stock voltage of 1.392v
the multiplier is 34 and i adjust the bus speed from 100mhz to 112mhz...
and my RAM running at 1333mhz become something at 1400mhz with 1.5v timing 9-9-9-24

i run prime95 for 1 hours and is said no errors and warning...

ist safe this is my first time in OC'ing....

my specs are:
processor : a4 5300
motherboard : GA-F2A55M-DS2 rev 1.2
ram : kingston hyper X black 1600mhz (set to 1333mhz-running at something in 1400mhz because of OC)
cpu cooler : gammax s40
PSU : 600w

Yes that's a typical conservative OC. That being said, anything you run components like the CPU faster than specs, it could potentially shorten the lifespan. But that's just the nature of OCing.

so it is safe... how about my motherboard sir??im planning on to buy a a10 6790K this x-mas running on 4ghz and i will oc it to 4.7ghz do you think my motherboard will carry it???

You need high frequency Ram for APU's they like 2000mhz and above that alone makes a nice performance difference with those CPU's. With 1600 ram your not going to get a very high overclock.

Overclocking doesn't necessarily shorten the life span of the CPU if you keep everything cooled Well.

AS your board selection, A55's technically shouldn't overclock well but I have seem APU's hit 4.5ghz with them. You generally want a A88,A85, A78 or even a A58 for overclocking.

how about my motherboard sir???can my motherboard carry a a10 6790K running at 4ghz and will OC to 4.7ghz??
and i forgot to mention i have a r7 250 1gb gddr5....

You will need to update your bios and buy atleast 1866mhz ram for the headroom but yes you can run a A10. The overclock results vary, it's not as easy on a A55 as it is on other chipsets. You may also want to change out you Cooler if your running a Stock version those chips will run hot after 4ghz.
