I believe my motherboard (MSI-FM2-A75MA-E35) has a small amount of power phases which would make it unsuitable for overclocking. It does not have VRM cooling, however I can add heatsinks and a 40mm fan to blow on them.

Will I be able to do a mild overclock on my AMD A10 5800k (I have a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO as a heatsink in a pull configuration (I have tool ram and can't fit it in push config)) with my motherboard?

Hello,

Your motherboard has 5 phases, so it's OK (even more if you plan to supplement the cooling with some heatsinks; just be sure you put the heatsinks on the FETs without touching the FETs terminals).

The cooler though is not used in the proper way; I think you have the space between RAM heatsinks and the cooler to add a slim fan:

What are the temps now? In full load, you must have 60-65 Celsius maximum; be aware that when OC, the temps will rise even more.
