Hi,
I recently bought a Corsair Hydro H100i and I want to overclock my Phenom II x6 1100T BE as far as I can. I have only overclocked a few hundred mhz before via multipliers so I'm not much familiar with voltage and frequency increases. Can you please tell me which numbers should I tweak? I would like to pass the 4 Ghz mark, or even higher. Thanks.

System:
Gigabyte 870a-usb3
AMD Phenom II x6 1100T Black Edition
750W Power supply
8 Gb RAM
Radeon HD 6870

Software installed:

Cpu-Z
CPUID Hardware Monitor
OCCT
Core Temp

I think I can get past 4 Ghz, I just need to know how to stabilize it. Currently I'm at 4.0 Ghz but after 15 minutes of Prime95 I get a BSOD. Also I've read that in order to get the best performance out of the cpu, rather than just a fancy number, you should get the other frequencies up like CPU-NB and HT. I need some advice if I should tweak them or not. This is my first serious overclock so I need some guidance.

Alright as an update it looks very stable right now. No problems yet after an hour of testing. What about that performance increase I asked? Is that a real thing?
