Hello, I want to know how does an overclocked FX-6300 at 4.0ghz or 4.1ghz compare to performance of the chip at stock speed?, which as I understand turbos automatically to 4.1 when under load. Is there any gain in overclocking this cpu to these speeds?
-thanks

Yes, my motherboard is the Gigabyte 970a-DS3. not an overclocker, this is why i want to know if an overclock to 4.0 or 4.1 will see any improvement in performance. I may be able to set the clock to a permanent 4.1 on this board with out trouble. I am tempted to upgrade my board just for the fun of overclocking but i cannot justify the purchase really as it is now pretty much a dead socket.
thanks for the response
