Yeah its defiantly worth it to upgrade you should be able to get a 20-25% performance increase easy depending on the CPU and case/cooling setup.

If you accidentally received a processor that topped out at say 4.6 ghz instead of the 3.8 you paid for and there was no additional cost would you be happy? Dumb question, of course you would. You paid for a k chip and a nice cooler so it would be a crime to not overclock it. How much difference if any you notice in games and apps is debatable but since there is no extra cost and virtually no risk why not? Your real question should be how do I go about overclocking this chip on this board. Your wish is my command http://www.overclock.net/t/1198504/complete-overclockin...

You will not enjoy your games one bit more, I promise. If you just want to brag to your friends and can afford it go ahead.
