I found one of these for a decent price so is it good enough to get for my athlon 760k (I want from it atleast 4.7 GHz will push for 5! (the CPU is capable of doing it on air but the MB I have now shuts off before Windows loads))

 

To all the haters NO this is not my main rig and YES I know those CPUs are slow - this is just to satisfy my itch for OCing!

Yeah it's a good overclocker, slap a CPU pot and some dry ice and it'll go to maybe 6 or so GHz. Doubt it'd give much issues

Okay so it will be definitely huge improvement over my GA-F2A55M-S1

(rev. 1.0)   After 3 year of almost 24/7 "mining " 1 game the poor thing is unstable even on stock and  was the only reason I upgraded to ryzen! (the cheapest MB avaib on the market with no OC chipset that HAS OC options in the BIOS - no wonder it melted even after I fabricated some custom  VRM heat sinks!)
