AMD users and overclocking has always gone hand and hand 4 years before the 4770 came out i had a FX8120@5.1Ghz that's faster benchmarks than said 4770 4 years prior and I daily that chip @ 5.1 4.9 for 5 years. had a 9590 that did 5.2 FX was amazing in all the work I did and fraction of cost. In it's idle time these cpus pushed me to the top of the F@H charts with BIGadv work units.
