Overclocking FX 4100

[Ishan Upneja]

How much can the FX 4100 be overclocked on a Gigabyte 880GM-D2H (Rev 4.0)
[http://www.gigabyte.in/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4000#ov]

with a couple of cheap DDR3 RAM sticks (Simmtronics 2+2 Gigs 1333 MHz)

I ask because i've heard that it's a cheap-ass board & i need good mobo to OC an FX 4100. So i just want to have an idea how much of an overclock can i achieve on this motherboard.? On stock cooling as well as with an aftermarket air cooler.

Also, if i use an FX 6100 instead of the FX 4100, how much would be the difference in gaming.? (I own a Sapphire 7850 2 GB & m asking as i don't want my CPU bottlenecking my GPU)

You won't know until you try. Every chip, mobo, piece of silicon or metal is different.

Not sure how much of a difference, but the FX 6100 will be better.

Still, i just wanna know before i go out & buy the FX 4100. I already have the mobo (Paired with a Sempron 145 right now) & i want an FX 4100 based system on this motherboard. The only issue is that i think the FX 4100 might bottleneck my 7850 in some games. & for that i wanted to know how much is this board able to OC. Isn't there any way to see what's the usual OC achievable on this mobo.?

I tried Googling, but got nothing. But the 3+1 power phase doesn't bode well.

Okay. But still, how much of an overclock can i hope to achieve.? (Since the only strong point of Bulldozer is it's OCing capability, what's the minimum OC i can achieve on that Gigabyte board.?)

I honestly have no idea, man.

Hmm. Ohkay. Thanks though.
