Hello, I need help with overclocking my CPU please.
CPU: AMD Phenom II X6 1090t
CPU cooling: CoolerMaster Hyper 212+ EVO
Motherboard: ASRock Extreme3 - AMD 990FX
PSU: Fortron AURUM 600W

I'm not really skilled at overclocking, I searched the web for numerous tutorials but I'm still not really sure of how to. Is it enough to use CPU overdrive in the catalyst control center or does it have to be done through BIOS? My motherboard has the UEFI interface and I can't find any good tutorials of how to overclock through the UEFI. I'd want at least 4GHz out of it, is it possible with this setup? And I don't know how to match the voltage with increasing frequency.
Please, any help or directions would be much appreciated.

hello I've got the exact same cpu and cooler but I got an older version motherboard-890gxm-g65 msi
I oc'ed my card to 3.8ghz by putting my core voltage at 1.375v and multiplier at 19x.
what I would suggest is try putting 1.35v and multi at 19x in your bios.If that doesn't works keep bumping your voltage up one increament at a time until your computer boots.Then use prime 95 for an hour and see if it works.If it works great now to the next step.set multiplier to 19.5x and bump your voltage little by little.Make sure its the CORE VOLTAGE.And do the same steps as before until you reach 4.0ghz.Make sure turbo boost cool n quiet and smart fan is off,set cpu fan to 100% and once you run prime 95 for 2-3 hours on 4.0 ghz then you have a stable...

and the safe limit of the cpu is 62c,use hw monitor to get those temperatures.I'm talking about cpu core temps
Make sure when under prime 95 the cpu core temperature is under 62c.And the safe limit voltage of the cpu core voltage is 1.5v which you can also see through hw monitor.
