How do I overclock my CPU? It's a amd fx 4350 stock 4.3 ghz

Don't know howww

What speed would you like to overclock to?
If it's only a mild over4clock it's as easy as changing the multiplier in the bios

I've had experience over clocking my AMD FX-6300 CPU, so I'll help you out.

The basic concept of overclocking is trying to get the best clock speed you can, while having a reasonable voltage and temperature and stability.
For FX CPU's, your temp. should not go above 62.5° C while gaming, and 70° while stress-testing. Also, try to keep the voltage under 1.4v, but do not exceed 1.43v.
So you're starting out at 4.3 GHz, right?
Increase the clock speed in 100 MHz increments. Increase it until your computer crashes when it tries to boot.
Once that happens, increase the voltage in increments of 0.01 volts, until you can boot into Windows successfully.
Then, download Prime95. It is a CPU stress-testing program.
Do a torture test on all 4 threads. Watch your temperature. If it goes above 70° C, it's time to either lower your clockspeed, or get a better CPU cooler.
If Prime95 crashes or reports an error while running, then bump the voltage by 0.005v. Do this until Prime can run for 1 hour without crashing. If you're already at 1.4 volts, then you've reached your processor's limit. It's time to stop OC'ing.
-----------------------------------
Keep doing all of this until you reach your desired speed.
•If you need more than 1.4v to keep your CPU stable, then your processor is at the highest it can go. CPU's vary in their ability.
•If your temperature goes above 70°, either lower the clock, or get better cooling.
•If Prime has an error, increase the voltage.

So that's my guide to overclocking.

Remember to turn off turbo too.

Thankyou!! How do I know my temperature?

Im so confused with all of this, where's turbo aha?

Just overclocked to 4.5 ghz and my temp is 60 when playing call of duty, is that ok?

In your motherboard's BIOS, you can disable the turbo multiplier.

Yes, that's normal.
But unfortunately, I only think you can do 100 more MHz. After that, you'll need a new CPU cooler.
What's the voltage right now?

I've just tried overclocking a hd radeon 6670 2gb on amd overdrive and everytime I watch a YouTube video, open a game etc it just goes red and fuzzy and the computer shuts down, I've even tried putting it back to stock, please help

I have an asus sabertooth 990fx r2

I have my 4350 clocked at
4.9ghz
280 bus
2520mhz ht
And ram 1866
Cpu voltage 1.48
And some other voltages tuned

If you have the same board I will send my settings for my overclock
