So in doing some research recently I found that while the fx-6300 still works fine for me, it is much less powerful than I had previously thought. I found that the Intel I5-2500K is actually a better processor than the AMD fx-6300. So, to make my current build last a bit longer cpu-wise, I would like to overclock. The confusing part is that I've heard conflicting answers on whether it is safe to overclock on my motherboard, the ASRock 960GM/U3S3 FX http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157323 , http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/960GMU3S3%20FX/index.asp?cat=. So, one, can I safely overclock on this motherboard? Two, what kind of performance increase should I expect (now and possibly future)? And lastly, what would a good, cheap cooler be for overclocking it? Sorry for the long post and thanks in advance for the help.
