Hey everyone. I recently acquired a free FX-6100 motherboard along with some RAM and a CPU. I noticed the board has several switches that can boost the CPU performance by 10%, 15%, or even 20% depending on how I adjust them. I’m looking to push more performance from this older FX-6100, but I don’t want it to overheat. Would a modest overclock of 10-15% be suitable for this board, or is it only designed for higher TDP CPUs? Here are the details you might find useful:

65 watts or below is sufficient, this VRM isn't suitable for higher loads.
