To get it out of the way, yes I want to upgrade to Ryzen ASAP, but would like to use this as a second PC then and not sure when I'll buy a whole new platform. Also, the last CPU I seriously OC'd was an Athlon XP 2500+ (a beast of a chip bought on here) so it has been awhile.
My setup.
FX 6100
GA-78LMT-USB3
Gammaxx 400 cooler
Gtx 1060 3gb (just replaced hd 6870)
500w Corsair PSU
2x4gb decent RAM
Corsair Obsidian 750 airflow case
I recently bought the 1060 cheap which got me started on this upgrade phase. I've heard conflicting reports on this motherboard and weak VRMs. Would a modest OC make any sense for gaming performance? I figure I could get a decent OC near stock voltage, but not sure if it would have any advantage over the turbo boost. Any response is appreciated.
