Possible Overclock?

[Dalyyyyy]

Hello guys, I was just wondering would it be possible to overclock an AMD Phenom II X6 1055T 2.80 GHz, 9MB Cache, Socket AM3, 125W, 45 nm to reasonable speed?

He's going for a cheap motherboard so I assume he doesn't want to spend the money.

MSI Fuzion I can easily get 3.8GHz out of my 1055T, haven't bothered to max it out though due to my laziness.

tried looking at the Gigabyte GA-890GPA-UD3H? suppost to be a great overclocker and its about 100 pounds same as the MSI
