Overclcking an 1055t x6

[Guest]

I will be using a 1055t x6 with a 785g mobo, gskill 4gb ddr3 1600, thermaltake case with a bunch of fans, 700w power supply. I am not a gamer, but I am a power user and a programmer, and I might do some video editing in the future. My big question is about overclcking my x6. What ghz should I aim for for a large performance boost, and what kind of budget cooling is their available? And is overclcking going to speed up my computing dramaticlly?Thanks!

As it is, it has a turbo function that can boost individual core speeds to 3.2ghz under certain demands. OCing the CPU to 3.4-3.6 may still allow the turbo function to work well with 3.8-4.0ghz boost on less than full core load.

I've read the reviews on newegg, there are many people getting 3.5 on stock coolers (with high air flow cases)

Dont bother with stock cooler, and everyday settled clock for my 1055t is 3.8ghz, but seen over 4.5ghz on it!
