Should I use AMD Overdrive to overclock my AMD FX 6300? Or is it a bad idea? If it's a bad idea to use the AMD overdrive then how do I overclock? I've never done it before and my bios is weird...I can't find an overdrive setting or anything in it. My motherboard is the asus m5a78l-m lx plus. http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M5A78LM_LX_PLUS/

You're better off using the motherboard bios/uefi (Asus AI suite).

It should be in your motherboard manual.

AI Suite is not compatible. It told me while trying to install it. Any other way to overclock?

Look at https://www.google.com.au/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant...

and use bios. AMD Overdrive is for overclocking graphics cards. Afterburner is better for that.

That's funny - it's part of the downloads for your motherboard.

Well ASUS must have worded something wrong lol. Also is it okay to update the bios if I have stuff on my pc or not? lol.
