Can i overclock?

[JoniSoJoni]

From the start i want to say that i don't know sh*t about overclocking.
I have recently built a pc with the specs:
-AMD FX6300 3.5Ghz 6 core
-MSI 970A-G43 mobo
-2x4gb ram
-Corsair CX600 PSU

Now my question is: CAN i overclock my amd cpu? And HOW do i do that? Also i use the stock cpu cooler, but i have 3 case fans. Thanks

Yes you can, but not too much, since you have a stock cooler.
There are tons of tutorials on overclocking. Google is your friend 😉

Yeah but most of them are made for cpus with custom coolers

Buy an aftermarket cooler before you start overclocking. You can OC without one but your temperatures will limit you as soon as you start playing with voltages
