Question Overclocking A8 6500 CPU

[ronisub48]

Hi can I overclock the CPU A8 6500? If not how can I increase the multiplier to 39 or 40? I tried using AMD OVERDRIVE but the multiplier remains at 35 and it won't change do I have to use the BIOS?

My PC is HP 705 G1

My PC is HP 705 G1 zero point of any occing as that chip is very old and the way fm2 process you'd see very little gains

I used the software QuickCPU and I raised the clock to 39-41.Is this a method of overclocking or turbo boost?

That is turbo boosting. Not overclocking. Overclocking is making your CPU (or whatever you are overclocking) run faster than the turbo speed. If you did set your multiplier to lets say 45, then yes, that would be an overclock. But in your case it is not. It's just a turbo boost.
