^It's much easier to overclock through the multiplier rather than Bus Speed.
As for the OP, don't use an automated program to overclock - you often end up with higher voltages or frequencies than your CPU can handle and it can be damaging. The BIOS is the best way to overclock - this should help: http://www.overclock.net/t/1348623/amd-bulldozer-and-pi...

Couldn't agree more with this. As far as voltage is concerned, you have to have time. Because you need to see how low you can go without crashing. Then testing to see if that lowest voltage is stable through prime95 etc. Every chip is different so one size does not always fit all. Try 1.35 or so and go a tick lower each time.

Thanks i couldnt wait any longer before you replied so i put 1.3v. I booted and now i am running prime95 along with HWmonitor. My cpu temps are getting very high though D:
EDIT: i finished the test getting up to 61c and having my clock at 4.0 ghz! Im going to try again with 4.5ghz and 1.35V
