Hi guys,

Will i be able to safely overclock my 8320 to 4.0GHz on this mobo. Stock is 3.5Ghz i believe. I would probably just use the standard fan and heatsink.

Thanks

that MB is a very low end MB. and you want to OC a high end processor with a stock cooler. you'll need to cool your VRM too, because they are only 4+1. stock coolers arent very efficent in OC. seems like a bad idea.
