I seriously don't know what to do. My 8350 is still at stock settings. I have an asrock 990FX extreme4. CM hyper 212 evo and a few fans. I feel my pc would hold up a lot and stand the heat. I already tried researching about it and I saw 2 threads of bulldozer overclocking but they were mentioning a ton of other things about voltage and a lot of different memories and buses) ...so many different terms. Can someone please explain it to me as simple as possible? The first page i read about overclocking said that it was as simple as entering the BIOS and changing the multiplier. Now I saw that its also about stability voltage and all that. 🙁 Also, it would be awesome if a comparison and explanation of gpu overclocking would be included too :)

I use this guy's video as the go-to for overclocking because he breaks it down quite well. Granted, he is using an Asus mobo so the bios won't match yours exactly but I think you can follow along and get a good idea of what you need to do. I believe he also has a simple video on GPU overclocking, which I find to be a completely different beast than the CPU overclock. Best of luck!
