Help to overclock the CPU

[clover309]

hi, I want to overclock my AMD Phenom 960T motherboard Biostar A780LB (ver.6.2) I understand that the motherboard is not for overclocking, but I want to safely overclock my old phenom. How you can safely overclock the CPU on this motherboard? PS: the CPU cooler is good, cools the VRM

If the mobo is not ment for overclocking don't overclock it,it might break something if you somehow have a option to overclock.Hacked bioses if they can OC your CPU,still not a good choice,afterall its a old system (in which case oc helps but your mobo doesnt support it) and a new mobo or entirely new system would be a better choice

Oh you mean it supports it ,not really meant for it? Don't try to over volt or under volt while over clicking ,try it safe voltages for how much u wanna of.Start by gradually oc'ing your system,try up till u see very high voltages,overheating,unstableness,etc ,then down click to the last successful overclock

Can motherboard to withstand 1.430 volts? To me this issue is very important

dude that depends on the chip.. no CPU is exactly the same and will behave differently. All you can do is look up what OC's where chieved with what voltage on your kind of CPU and go by that..

wouldn't push it too far though on a motherboard that is not meant for OC'ing

I want to squeeze out all the juices from this shit board, maybe overclock the memory?

amd processors tend to love fast(er) memory.. could be beneficial though.

Althoug, honestly, I'd personally go for a new platform If I was in your situation.. some of the used sandy bridge or x58 stuff is pretty good value for money and you can usually oc the hell out of that
