    Default How to overclock AMD Phenom II X4 BE? Noobs needs advice...

    I have this CPU placed in a ASRock 870 Extreme 3 motherboard cooled by a Coolermaster hyper 212+. PSU is a 600w Corsair Builder Series.

    How do I do it?
    It is 3.2 GHz but I want to increase this a little just to try it out without blowing the whole damn thing up. I read I can safely overclock it to 4 GHz or something.

    Now, how do I do this? And is my cooling enough?
    I have a stock 120mm exhaust fan and a cheap 120mm front fan but I can add a second 120mm to the CPU heatsink if needed (and more case fans if needed).


    Secondary question:
    If I add a second fan to the CPU heatsink where do I connect this one too? To the mobo as a chassis fan, my fan controller (instead of the exhaust fan) or can I use a splitter to connect it together with the other CPU fan?
