its quite funny how seriously how much of a newb i am when it comes to overclocking so like an idiot i overclocked. i have a amd phenom x4 965 b.e with a heatsink that is arctic cooling freezer 13 pro and i decided to overclock for the first time as i did a good job for a beginner meaning that i brought it up to 3.7ghz with multipliers and no vcore increases which is at 1.4 default. my temps were 29-33 degrees celcius. the next day i turn on my pc and like an idiot decide that i would like more .... i raised it up to 3.9ghz forgeting to raise the vcore and pressed reset -_-. then i get a lot of beeping sounds(panicking) with a black screen. so i unplug everything pressing the cmos reset button and take off my heatsink and apply new thermal paste(arctic silver 5) on my cpu i did a normal job not professional but enough not to drop paste inside the cpu.tried to turn it back on which sucessfully worked. THOUGH! the problem was when i turned it back on my temperatures according to amd overdrive were 45-49degree celcius and when everything was set back to default(3.4ghz). i would do my stress test with prime95 well it would higher that 80 we should say. now how did this happen?
