Biostar? Overclocking? they don't mix

Actualy this board is better than you would think...i wouldnt do heavy overclocking on this but a slight bump...yes sure.

Look for an overclocking guide on AMD it's always the same process use google ;)

I came here to say the exact same thing. I've had a few friends running Biostar boards and they're really not up to snuff. They're usually budget minded. This means non-essential components are bumped off to save costs.

Thankfully you're admitting that it's not a good idea to push the chip too hard.

not too hard but the VRM's are heatsinked on this and ''okay quality'' same for the mosfets and chokes i would go with a slight bump to 1.4v and see how the boards re-act...make sure your monitor VRM's temps and CPU temps and watch for thermal trottling...if it occurs...reduce the overclock.
