Hi im new on the OC world, Im from Argentina so, sorry if i have a bad english.
I made a stable config for the FX-6100 Black Edition, I need to know if im doing something wrong or someone who knows more of this can help me to improve this config.

PC Specs:
CPU: AMD Bulldozer Fx-6100 Black Edition (OC TO 4.0Ghz) Min temp 32c Max temp 47c
Cooler: CoolerMaster Hyper 212 EVO
Motherboard: ASUS M5A78L-M LX3
RAM: Kingston HyperX Fury DDR3 1x8GB 1600Mhz (OC TO 2332Mhz)
Power Supply: Thermaltake TR2 600w
HDD: Western Digital Blue 1TB
GPU: Ati Radeon R7 250 (OC Core Clock of 1050 base To 1300Mhz) (OC Memory Clock of 1150 base to 1430Mhz) Min temp 30c Max temp 75c on high exigence games.

That over voltage is the minimun that i tried today is an stable voltage. (EDIT min stable voltage is 1.42500v

This is all thanks for see the post and tell me if you want to know something more. See you.

While the motherboard isn't designed for overclocking, but as long as you keep the temp and voltage low I guess it's okay

What do you set the voltage on the bios and what is CPU-Z show in Windows when idle and running benchmark?

I dont unstertood what are you saying, I set the voltage on the bios cause is in the only place who i can set it and cpu-z wasnt running benchmark

here is the benchmark
 
your english is fine.

xigmakid means your motherboard has only 3+1 phases and that is minimal at best for overclocking and it could be that your vrm is getting very hot if the processor is getting to 75°(these are the quadratic blocks-written 1R2 on it-around your cpu socket)
normally there is no temp reading for this. a small fan over them and it should be good

What you referring are the coils used the filter the high frequency electrical noise.
What you need to cool are the pwm, mosfets and drivers around the coils.
And yes thermal throttling might be an issue.
 
Dont Oc on that board. The factory turbo max is 3.9 Ghz so 4Ghz is not that impressive. Just keep it at stock, 200 or 300 Mhz wont make that big of a difference anyway.

The gpu reachs 75c since i put less voltage to the cpu the max temp is 47c

The cpu ever works on 3.3ghz for so its 700mhz but today im gonna be testing for more power on ghz, because i add to the ram 999mhz more than the stock and the cpu bus was 200 and i set that on 250 so its a difference
 
Make sure you have a extra fan on the mainboard as someone has already written here, because that mainboard isn't really suited for OC.
