Hi,
I'm fairly new to overclocking and I want to know how to overclock my A10 5800K via the Uefi Dualbios that my motherboard has. I have updated it to the latest drivers but I can't seen to adjust my cpu frequency and voltage. I can only access it but it doesn't allow me to configure it. Can someone with a similar motherboard help me out on this one? I have AMD OverDrive installed on my computer but I don't want to use if there is a way that i can overclock my cpu/apu inside Uefi dualbios. If there are other applications that are easy to use for overclocking, please feel free to share it. THANK YOU :D

Do you have a suggestion on how many mins/hours i need to put in the stability test?

I've read on another article that you should let it test for about 12-24 hours to determine the stability of the hardware. If i'm overclocking it to about 4.5 GHz (would it be around 1.4V -1.45V?), would the stock cooler be enough? or do i need a better heatsink & fan or pre filled liquid cooling?
