I have a amd a6-6400k dual core running at 3,9 ghz with asus fm 2a85m le motherboard, kingston 4gb 1600mhz ram and 480w psu, will i be able to oc it to 4,1 or so? Also was thinking of using amd overdrive since im unexperienced with ocing and was thinking of getting r7 260x (currently have radeon hd 8400d integrated)
 
Solution
You could, but the CPU already hits 4 GHz and 4.1 GHz when it goes into turbo mode. And when you OC, it is important that you disable turbo mode. So, you wouldn't be gaining anything.
That board isn't really designed for any more serious OC'ing. No heat sinks on the VRMs and unknown quality power transistors. Also, once you get above the turbo mode speeds, you will find the core cooling will not be sufficient. You will need an after market cooler.
