Need help overclocking a Phenom II 955 BE

[H]@RD5TUFF · Jul 28, 2011

I Recently purchased a Phenom II 955 for my media machine for an insanely low price, I want to know what kind of an OC I can expect with the stock cooler, and how best to do it, i.e, the multiplier or the bus speed or a combination of both. Any tips or help would be good my mobo is a Gigabyte 890FXA- UD5 Rev 2.1 with the factory bios, I am not looking for a crazy OC just something to add a little speed and be stable.

Thanks in advance.

ATM it is running @ 3.519 Ghz @ 17 x multi and 208 bus. Too much or you think I can get more?

bump

Now @ 17.5 multi and 209 bus for 3.604 Ghz

you should do 3.8GHz real easy only using the multiplier..

dont change the bus as that affects our memory as well.
