be cautious about CPU overclocking, as you lack a VRM heatsink and only have one 4pin EPS power connector, restricting overclock performance to around 155 watts.
Operate within the 125 watt capacity of your processor at standard configurations. Try reducing voltage while maintaining stability. My Phenom 2x6 @3.6 delivered 160 watts, and I managed to burn two MSI boards with VRMs that should have supported it within a short time. I switched to an Asus M5A97 for improved VRM performance, which resolved the issues. We don’t want to push your board beyond its limits.
The only board worth overclocking that you've talked about is the MSI 970 Gaming. It offers a significantly improved VRM configuration. Cheap boards from that era were often unreliable, especially with CPUs over 125 watts. Generally, most boards from that period had stock VRM solutions using a 125-watt chip; even with cooling, it doesn’t always guarantee good VRM performance.
Which of these motherboards on an older PC will perform better for light clocking? GIGABYTE GA-970A-DS3, MSI 970 GAMING or ASUS 970 PRO GAMING/AURA
cpu overclocking wouldn't significantly boost performance, you might want to focus on overclocking the northbridge since this chip has a low ram bandwidth of 1333MHz, even with 1600MHz RAM. You'd need to increase the FSB clock, which means lowering the CPU and RAM clocks. Adjusting these settings would prevent both from overclocking. You might also consider slightly increasing the northbridge voltage if stability issues arise, and note that overclocking the northbridge can improve performance more than CPU overclocking alone, as it enhances L3 cache and memory controller capacity.
