AMD A8 5600k Overclock

[dddingggiii]

Hey there guys - i just recently installed an Arctic Cooling Xtreme Freezer Rev.2 and i know what overclocking is and all - though i was wondering if anyone could help me out with a good overclock configuration - havent had any luck so far :/
All is appreciated

Oh and i got a 600w power supply with my Gigabyte Gtx 660 and 6 fans - is there still enough power for me to use to overclock??
Thanks

I'm running a 630W power supply with 6 fans and a water cooling pump, and have my AMD A10-6800K overclocked to 4.8GHz, with the GPU overclocked to 1269MHz and memory overclocked to 2133MHz. More than likely, you won't be able to take your overclock far enough to go beyond the 600w power supply on an A8 5600K, but it all depends on what else you've got on your system.

You can calculate your needs more closely using a power supply calculator, as found at http://www.extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp

The calculator will let you select each component for your system to calculate the power requirements, and will even let you calculate what you'll use at different overclock settings for your particular CPU.

Only you know everything on your system, since you didn't give full specifications. Try the calculator, and you'll get your answer pretty quickly.
