If you have the first core generation of the FX series of cpu.
Then you will find when trying to overclock the chip, that you will get very little overclocking potential out of it.
The older FX series yours being a FX 8100 were known to run very hot when you tried to overclock them EJRONAN.
Some only managed a 100Mhz to 200Mhz overclock on the cpu with a large jump in cpu core voltage required.
If I had to be honest with you, and you want a decent overclock of the cpu.
Then you should swap the FX 8100 series cpu for a FX8300 series that has a Vishera core update.
With a water cooling loop on the cpu, and provided you have a good motherboard with a AMD 990FX chip set on it you can reach an overclock of about 900Mhz over the cpu`s factory default speed in Mhz.

Actually, almost everything you said is a little wrong. I know their reputation for running hot, but it's simply not true in my chips case.
It's overclocked 1000mhz.
It's on air @ 33* (Celsius) with a Cooler Master "Hyper T2" which is a very basic $15(one of their least expensive ones for sale) air cooled heat-sink(still a good step up from the oem one and worth every penny imho) and right now.
I have been running my fx8100 all cores at a constant 3.86 ghz for 3 years straight.
It's 2.8 ghz stock.
There's a link to a speccy screenshot below with all my specs.

If you consider a turboclock to be the same thing as all cores clocked together all the time than yeah it is.
But they aren't.
