Was wondering if there is any worthwhile (low power consumption, relatively good overclocking) upgrade for my FX6100 on the AM3+ chipset? This chip seems to be very difficult to overclock. I can't seem to get even 4.2GHz stable without going over 1.55v, which I don't want to do. It could also be all the other voltages which I'm not sure what they should be set to of course.
The high power consumption rules out the 8XXX or 9XXX lines I think. I don't even mind going to a 4 core as long as it overclocks well and consumes <100w.
Currently I don't want to switch out my motherboard so switching platforms completely is out of the question.
Any thoughts?
