Can I overclock with this motherboard?

[MrAidanPreston]

Hello,

So I have recently got a new computer and I am hoping to overclock it when I get my new antec kuler upgrade, although I am just wondering if my motherboard will be ok to overclock with, my computer specs are as followed

asus m5a78l-m lx usb3 : http://uk.asus.com/Motherboards/AMD_AM3Plus/M5A78LM_LX/

Amd fx6100 @ 3.3Ghz

Asus Radeon 77702gb Graphics Card

750W PSU

8gb Ballistix Ram

Any help with overclocking with this processor and motherboard, bareing in mind I will not be overclocking until I can get my new antec kuler,

ps(I am hoping to achieve 4Ghz?)

~Thanks Aidan!<3

Id rethink the antec cooler. For the same money you can do much better.

Mobo will clock but its not going to be anything mega.

Just realised that I linked the wrong motherboard! That ne only supports 95w CPU, mines supports 140w, http://www.asus.com/Motherboard/M5A78LMUSB3/

Oh ok, thanks mate. you think I could hit the 4ghz mark, if I went with a better cooler than the antec?

Silicone lottery. They are not all the same

Even a mediocre FX6100 should be good for 4Ghz, If not then you'll get 3.8Ghz 100%

And also you can overclock on any motherboard, but the better it is, the lower volts you'll have to use at any given clockspeed...

So you reckon I should go for it? providing I have a fairly decent cooler?
