AMD X4 860K questions

[Nakedpengwin]

Hi guys

I have and AMD X4 860K and I have just read that I must disable Turbo Core Mode (which I have), since then my temps are lower and far more stable!

I'm still using the stock CPU cooler (don't have money for an aftermarket cooler atm), I'd like to know how far I can safely overclock it with the stock cooler?

I have an MSI Grenade motherboard, and a Bitfenix Nova Window case with 2 front intake fans and 1 rear exhaust fan.

Also, in BIOS, what must my CPU Core Control be on, right now it's on "Auto", I play CSGO Competitively and I want to make sure that my setup is optimal!

Any other tips and advice will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Best regards, Jonathan

Do not overclock 860K on stock cooler. Overclock to 4.2 Ghz is the highest I will go, and even then temperatures may be too high.

Just as Oleg said, don't overclock it with the stock cooler. AMD stock coolers are horrible and aren't safe to overclock with.
