hi there i'm new to overclockin and i jz got my new pc... i looking forward to overclocking it... and i heard here is the best place to learn...
here is my spec...
processor - AMD Phenom X4 9850 2.5Ghz Black Edition
motherboard - MSI K9A2 Platinum 790fx
graphic card - MSI 4870
ram - 4gb KHX 1066
plz teach me overclock those stuff... i using a termaltake liquid cooling for my cpu! and 650 real power coolermaster power supply... i try on my own but i didnt know how to use the ClockGen software and all...
for starter, bios oc is d best. d more u play w/ ya bios, d more u'll learn. i won't recommend clockgen/amd overdrive as they're more for enhancement(tweakin)/extreme purposes.
there's no one usin d board w/ phenom here, so ya only choice is to have some readin in xtremesystems, they got a dedicated thread there just for d board. i'm not so sure bout how well khx1066 is doin, but in khx ddr800, they're not meant for high frequency.
dun worry much bout d overclockability of ya board even it's on sb600, it's proven that it can clock phenoms pretty well, but ofcoz, d soon to be released sb750 boards mite brin ya mileage further due to d improved sb.

go into your bios. and then slowly bump the CPU multiplier up one step at a time.
alternatively, download AMD overdrive and do it via windows.
aod is still not so stable & picky atm bro, i wouldn't recommend that to starter, thou i'm one oso...
