Noob needs help

[Darkstar83]

Good day guys

 

is there anybody willing to help a overclock noob step by step with overclocking? I want to overclock my 8 year old system to get a bit better performance on gaming. I have tried to do it by myself but with all the settings and options i do not know what to adjust what to leave and where to begin. 

Cpu - Amd Athlon II x2 250 3GHz (stock cooler)

Mobo - ECS Elitegroup a790xgm-ad3 (black series)

Ram -  3x trancend ddr 3 1666 2GB  and 1x samsung ddr3 10700 4GB  (all 4 sticks rated at 667 but running 533.3)?

 

If you need any more info on specs ect, please feel free to ask.

There's no point at the current time. Plus, the stock cooler won't be any good for it.

We don't know what GPU you have, but if it's as old as the rest of the system, no.

Yeah - nothing is going to happen with that.

 

If you want a chance of getting better FPS at this point the only way is to upgrade.
