Amd fx8120 Overclock On a Asrock Extreme 4 970

Quadriladder · Nov 4, 2013

Hi,
I just built this pc, and I bought the 8120 because of my budget, and I heard that it overclocks really well. So I got a good psu (cougar cmx700w bronze modular) and a asrock extreme 4 970 , with a thermaltake water 2.0 preformed. I'm just scared because this board only has a 4+1 phase power unit.
I have never overclocked and I need to know what to adjust and how to do It on the board, and what are my limits. I really don't want to fry anything.
And I have a zalman z11 case, so plenty of airflow!
Btw, I forgot my password to my original account
Thanks

Read a lot and ask plenty of questions before overclocking.
