It depends more on the luck of the draw, of the processor you get.

Overclocking a process that is different for everyone. You need to gradually increase voltage and clock speed while watching your CPU and VRM temperatures until you find a stable overclock you are okay with

Name comes from anagramed sticker for "TUF Inside" (A sticker that came with my original ASUS motherboard)

If my previous max OC was 4.2 ghz, would it improve to some degree? (I was using an asrock MOBO with the same chipset)

Specs claim "8+2 phase CPU VRM power design....." so it should do alright.

I did all that, was stable with 4.6 ghz for 2 hours with prime95 then it got fried

I'd say to some degree, if the board is really better than stability will be better.

Doubt changing boards will yield much better results.

Then that wasn't stable?

Aight, but what would your estimations be if I completed the build with this MOBO

Stability with prime95 for 2 hours, that was pretty stable to me. I guess the MOBO was a bottleneck?

I ran prime95 for 2 hours, went to killing floor 2 for an hour then did some mild browsing for an hour, so I thought that was a pretty stable stress to me

The stress test itself fried the mobo, it wouldn't turn on after browsing, it just froze and started giving 2 beeps every time I tried to turn it on so a fried motherboard was the conclusion.

Really can't say much more without knowing which ASRock board it was.

You need to know a general safe area for your CPU voltage. If you're going above ~1.45v without really knowing what you're doing you have a pretty good chance to fry a FX CPU. You're not using auto voltage are you?

Nope, I stuck with 1.45 as it was a stable voltage.

So, what do you think is fried? the CPU or the motherboard, it has been giving 2 beeps and never turning on since the overclock. I've tried everything, and I mean EVERYTHING

That was only a 4 stage power design with no heat sinks. No wonder it died. lol

Perhaps. 

So if I "upgrade' to the gigabyte will I yield better results?
