Overclocking my AMD Phenom X4 940

Overclocking my AMD Phenom X4 940

Hai,

Recently I've bought a AMD Phenom X4 940 and a Gigabyte GA-MA790GP-DS4H motherboard.

It's a black edition and here are my specs:

Power supply: 650W
Graphics card: ATI Radeon 4870HD 1GB GDDR5
Memory: 4GB DDR2 880mhz

CPU:


MOBO:


Those are my default specs. I personally find them insanely low for the cpu.

How far can I go with this (by far I mean not really touching the cpu voltage etc etc)

Thanks in advance

Update your bios man, to the latest version. You will have a better time with your board, F2 is a Pre PII bios.
