Please don't re-post.. With that said do you have a stock heatsink or are you using oem. That will determine how far you can go with the oc.

Fiddle with settings in the BIOS that is the best way. 

But actual guides help too.

The thing is those APU"s are really heat picky and aren't really happy when your running over 60c, they tend to throttle down at that point. The first thing I would recommend is to get an after market heatsink, that way you will run into less problems. If it gets to hot at the start the screen will just remain black and maybe beep.

you have to go through the bios to OC your APU mate, it involves Overvoltage, unlocking some stuff and ampping the Clock Speed

i'd say some where around 1.0V for 3.6~3.7Ghz

you can unlock em all, damn it, that's why your APU suck, it's running on only two cores, isn't it ?

then you can think about squizing some more out of it !

Run prime 95, check temps when running and tell us how hot... you don't want to fry your cpu when you run games...

he's using the Stock cooler, he'll fry it the moment he hits apply

After... when opening a program when you closed the game the CPU may have lost 10-25 ºC :P

is that bad lol???

If I get an i5 2400 not k... can I overclock that even though it is not a k chip???

as I said, after closing...

in 5 secs it can lose 15ºC easily bc fan is at max. rev and cpu isn't emitting THAT amount of heat anymore...

I doubt that when it's at 43 ºc idle it'd be 53ºc under full load :/

(LÅL dunno if you understand me)

OHHHHHH I be gettin what you be layin down now :)

Its all looks these days

Nope, only unlocked K series can be Overclocked
