So i have an amd fx 6300 black edition at 3.5 Ghz, and a MSI Computer Corp. Socket AM3+ AMD 970 DDR3 SATA3 and USB 3.0 A&GbE ATX Motherboard 970A-G43 (zotac gtx 760 zt-70401-10p for a gpu)
I have literally no idea how to overclock.
Well i have done a bit of research, but im not entirely sure what is the safest method to overclock. A lot of forums say use the bios but I have im not sure what settings i should put everything to. Im not looking for an extreme overclock, maybe just 4.2ghz, im going to buy a new cpu cooler for when i attempt oc again.
