Hello, I was looking at this motherboard: http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/FM2A55M-VG3+/
And was wondering how well it would be able to overclock an AMD 760k? I know A55 isn't the best chipset, but this motherboard is within my budget and appears to have everything I need. It does state that it has an overclocking utility, and I'd like to get at least a very moderate overclock of 4.1 or 4.2Ghz if that's possible.
I ask this because I know there's quite a few factors that determine how much of an overclock you can achieve. I don't want to have the CPU throttled because the board gets too hot for whatever reason. (I know VRM heatsyncs are a thing, although I don't know what they are or what they do, perhaps somebody could explain that to me.)
