Stable overclock for a amd a8 6600k

[FreshPineApples]

What should I set the multiplier to in amd overdrive or should I go into the bios and overclock it, not messing with multiplier.
Cpu cooler: Hyper evo 121
mobo: Fm2a88xup4

It depends on the individual CPU. You will have to experiment and find out if stable. Rule is small steps and load test.

With APU's RAM plays a huge part in what you can get stable, consider using the Bios over CCC as it seems a bit unstable with this last release.

When using bios do I change the multiplier or just increase the clock speed.

Change the Multiplier, you should be able to hit 4.3ghz with ease. After that it becomes hit and miss with stability.

When that happens it is time for further tweaking like voltage.

After that you should do a little reading and understand what you are changing, Read over these and you should have a better grasp. To just say change one thing or the other without having proper understanding on what they do is not the right way to learn or teach.
