need good guide

[alt1231]

I need a good guide for overclocking y amd 6300+ vishera black edition
I have a gigabyte ga-990fxa-ud5 rev 3.1 motherboard
my ram is gskill ripjaws 16gb 1600
if anyone has a good guide or good insight on it its much appreciated

Advice number one: Get better cooling for CPU and make sure your case is maxed out on cooling fans. Only after that you can think of any meaningful OC !!!!

I have a noctua u12s my temps stay around 25 c right now
fans i have all fans working top side bottom and rear and front

Oh, that's better, it's a good cooler.
As you can see I have almost same setup.
If you would download and install http://www.techspot.com/downloads/4645-amd-overdrive.html to follow temperatures and other parameters as it is most accurate with AMD platform and also has logging for data and stability tests.
I suppose that you are familiar with BIOS, if not brake out the manual.

First thing would be to turn off all power saving and turbo options in BIOS so as not to interfere, may be able to turn some back on after.
Next would be to use manual settings for voltage and speeds but leave them at the default values.
Now you can start raising CPU multiplier a notch at the time, running stability test and keeping an eye on temperatures and voltages and enable logging so you can see what was happening at every step.
Once you run into instability you can raise CPU voltage a notch, rinse and repeat.
Make sure you have clear access to CMOS reset points as you are going to need them several times if OC goes wrong (and it probably will).
Most important thing, arm yourself with patience, lot's of it. (Coffee and scotch helps).
How far you can get with OC, nobody can tell you as no 2 processors or even 2 whole systems are not exactly same.
My guess is that you should not have problems until 4.6 - 4.7 GHz.

I'm not sure what you mean clear access to cmos reset values . are you talking about setting up profiles to reset the bios settings? Oh and I'm not sure which voltages your talking about can you be more specific

Clear access, like in them being accessible so you can clear CMOS/BIOS and bring it back to factory defaults. On some MBs they may be obscured behind other parts.

oh ya its adjust a 2 prong thing you stick one of those 2 prong female connectors to or a screwdriver for that
i think theres a reset button on the case i have to check it

the voltages which were you talking about is it vcore cpu or which?

nm i found it Im having issues though seems i overclock no vcore change to 4ghz the stability test still fails freeze and crash

when i up th emultipleier is it mandatory to check every 100 or can i just up it to say 4ghz then go from there?
