Hello! I wanna make this short as possible, so here goes:

Specs:

AMDFX-6100
R9 270X
8GB RAM
500GB HDD
MSI 7641 (P21-FX) MOBO (LATEST BIOS)

So, for one, I know that the bulldozers are crazy overclockable, but I seem to have the most of the problems.

I tried turbo (which is too easy to configure) and technically using CPU-Z it does go to 4.3 when gaming, but I don't think turbo is the same as manual... is it?

Basically, you have the specs, now - the goal. 4.3/4.4 is what I want to achieve. Cooling or power won't be a problem because I have a labeled power supply on 600w and a CoolerMaster Hyper 212 Pro.

If it isn't that simple and you guys need some more info, please ask. Thanks! :)

Hi there few months ago i bought the Asus M5A97 EVO R2.0 specifically to OC my FX-6100 and i got to say im very happy with it im @4,5Ghz Vcore 1,43V, cooling it with 212 evo.This mobo is really good i see a big potential to OC it even further just if u plan to buy this dont buy the "m5a97 r2.0" cause the power phase is too low for a good overclock but if u plan to stop @ 4,5Ghz you could go for it. Anyways if you are interested theres even a basic guide to oc the fx chips on these series of mobos http://www.overclock.net/t/1348623/amd-bulldozer-and-piledriver-overclocking-guide-asus-motherboard
Good luck!
