could i overclock fx-6100 with this mobo?

N68C-GS FX

i have scythe ninja 3 ordered so cooling is not an issue, im just thinking about can the mobo handle it? its 95w

Yeah you should be able to overclock fine on the motherboard

i was just wondering that can that mobo handle something like 4-4.2 ghz?

its only 95w TDP

Just going over the figures the answer is no on full load a 4.2 overclock would be rated at 140w i apologise for my earlier answer as i just looked on the support list of the mobo http://www.asrock.com/mb/NVIDIA/N68C-GS%20FX/?cat=CPU
