This is my first OC... i'm familiar with most computer terms and able to build them. However, when it comes to overclocking I really have no clue. I'm wanting to overclock my AMD Athlon II x4 631 to run newer games smoother and hopefully no crashes (BF4 😀). I don't need any crazy OC... 3.6ghz instead of stock 2.6 would be enough...
Also, if i could overclock my ram with more confidence (currently running it at 1.6v and 1333 mhz- set timings to 8-8-8-20)
Specs:
CPU: Amd Athlon II x4 631

The UEFI bios is a nice touch i think. If you could tell me what exactly to put everything at, that would be extremely helpful!
The things the UEFI bios request:
APU/PCIE Frequency
CPU Frequency Multiplier (this has a format of x26 2600mhz, x27 2700mhz, etc)
CPU Voltage
CPU Frequency Multiplier (idk why i have this twice but i do so im writing it down XD)
CPU NIS/GFX Voltage
THANKS TO ALL THOSE WHO RESPOND
