Worth Overclocking FX-6100 on my motherboard?

[jadson135095]

Those are my specs:
FX 6100 3.3ghz
Asus M5A78L-M LX
12GB ram (1x4/1x8)
RX 460 4GB
XFX 400W XT

I want to know if its possible/worth overclocking my CPU and if yes, to which levels.

Looks like a 3+1 phase VRM on that board.

You might get what you think is pretty high...maybe 4.5G. But between the processor throttling itself to stay within it's 95w TDP (unless the BIOS has a setting to disable APM) and/or the VRM overheating it will throttle under load. Short-duration transient process loads, the kind you get in most day-to-day Windows tasks and in games, don't have opportunity to get the the VRM super hot so it will still work pretty nicely and give a 'smoother' feel to Windows. You can help things by getting some Enzo glue-on heatsinks and putting them on the FET's, but don't expect to get that kind of performance for a 2 hour video encoding.

So sure, it's still worth it to try.
