First AMD build so not sure what the best way to overclock it is. Only overclocked once before a Q9300 from 2.5GHz to 3.0GHz by raising the FSB to 400. It had a locked multiplier of 7.5.
Since this is a K CPU it should be more fun to play with. My question is should I use the bios or would the ASRock eXtreme tuner be good enough? What is a safe voltage for this chip? Also since this GPU is unlocked as well how to you go about overclocking that?
Specs are
AMD A8 3870K running dual graphics with Sapphire 6670
ASRock A75 Pro 4 motherboard
G.Skill Ares 8GB 1866 Ram - Timmings -9 10 9 28
Gelid Tranquillo cooler
