Overclockable AMD processors/mobos

[Agera One]

For intel, "k" series processors and mobos with "Xxx and Zxx" chipset support overclocking. For AMD?

All FX series processors and good quality 970, 990x and 990fx boards. THe best overclocking boards are based on the 990fx chipset

No Anthlon, phenom, APUs doesn't support overclock ?

Pretty much any AMD CPU can be overclocked, but choosing a motherboard is a little more interesting.

For serious overclock a 990FX chipset board is a must have, but looking at VRM config is important.
I have this list of AM3+ motherboards with some useful info that I have been using for some time :

For APUs its pretty much the same thing except that the A55 chipset does not allow overclocking at all, and only K-edition APUs have fully unlocked multiplier, the others just have partially unlocked multipliers.

So, 8+2 VRM Phase count is must for safe AMD CPU overclocking? And only AM3+ CPUs supports overclocking?

AM3+ cpus are all unlocked and you really need at least an 8+2 vrm (Nice to have on intel as well). K series APUS are unlocked fully the rest are only partly unlocked. A55=no overclocking

What about AM3, AM2+, AM2 CPUs?

What about AM3, AM2+, AM2 CPUs?

Same as the AM3+. Look at the power phasing, each one has a different corresponding chipset which can be googled.

Do you have any spreadsheet like that for Intel?

Some do, These sockets are all but dead now though.

No, I do not.

Intel boards have A LOT more variety. Going from a board to board basis is simpler.
