Hello! I finally got my computer after weeks of planning. Here it is:

CPU: FX 6300@stock
M/B: Gigabyte 970a-d3p
H/S: CM Hyper 212 EVO
RAM: G.Skill 2x4GB 1866Mhz
GPU: ASUS GTX 660 Ti DirectCU ii 2GB
OS: Windows 8 Pro 64-Bit

I want to overclock my CPU. The stock temps at idle 26oC and load 40oC at Prime95. My case is a Bitfenix Merc Alpha. One exhaust fan and the one on the hyper 212 evo, push configuration.

How far can I push the CPU?

I left mine with the turbo and quiet and cool on. 1.425 at max turbo and at 3.5 I believe its 1.325. I setup my nephews computer last month so I dont quite remember. All I raised was the base multiplier to x20 and the turbo at x21.5.
