Hi everyone, my pc configuration:
cpu: Amd fx 4330 (95w, 4000 mhz, http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Bulldozer/AMD-FX-Series%20FX-4330.html)
gpu: Gtx 750 ti
mem: 8gb
mb: Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 ver. 5
psu: Corsair 450W

I think i can get more perfomance on ~4400mhz. Can i overclock cpu on this motherboard? I need to know optimal voltage and settings - Bios Award.
 
Solution
It's a 4+1 power phase so you can't pump much voltage into it without running into issues. 4.4Ghz should be doable.

Look up "overclocking FX CPU" in Google. There's tons of guides out there.

My bios settings:
CPB: disabled
Multipiler: x22
Vcore voltage: 1.4250v
Advanced Bios Features: Cool'n'Quiet: disabled, AMD APM: disabled, C6: disabled.

15 mins prime95 test - good temps even with my cooler, 2 copper tubes and 120mm fan

It works perfectly and i got almost 20% performance for low price. I hope it will helpful for someone
