How to set CPU frequency to highest?

Overclocking AMD CPU Help.?

• hello, i have a AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition 3.4 GHz CPU and i want to overclock it to 3.8GHz i am currently in the bios and have an idea of what to change but don't know 100% this will be my first CPU overclock. ok so what i want to know is what changes should i make to my bios in order to get 3.8ghz. So far i have only changed the CPU Clock Ratio - x19 and that's 3800mhz CPU North Bridge Freq i have not changed yet, i need to know what to set this to and i need to know what CPU frequency i should change this to. so far its default 200mhz. if there are other changes i need to do please just say, any help will be appreciated. thank you

• Answer:

  Leave everything at default settings like voltages and ram timings for now....Disable cool and quiet and C1E....All you have to do is bump up the multiplier like you did,no need to touch the HT speed of 200 yet(reference clock) as you can overclock just using the multiplier.... Sense you have it running at 3.8ghz you must stress test using Prime95 or OCCT.....If you get errors within the first couple minutes its usually a voltage issue and if you get an error after 1-2 hours for example, its usually a memory error... Take your time and run each test about 15 minutes till you get the clock speed you wanna run...Then stress test for 5-8 hours.....
