I want to overclock my AMD FX-8120 Eight-Core Processor 3.10GHz, to see if i can get more performance out of it. I haven't overclocked ever on my CPU, I kinda know how it works. But I don't know what all I need to know to be safe and don't take it to far. I know where to go to do it too, just want to know how much should I overclock it and is it worth to do it?

On your profile you say you have a 760G board. I wouldn't overclock.

as @harrynowl said your motherboard is way too cheap to allow any kind of overclocking...just running that CPU at stock is pushing it to be honest.
