Been searching for a lot of guides on how to OC my cpu. I find it very hard to know how it's done with this one. I've tried to OC with OverDrive but the program says: AMD OverDrive cannot detect AMD CPU on this computer. (OR the current processor does not support OverDrive)

Also tried overclocking it in BIOS but there's a few options that is missing.
Any help? Would be much appreciated.

Nope, recently found out that by enabling turbo mode in bios automatically increases my cpu frequency up to 3500Mhz with the core multiplier set on 35x. That would be an overclock up to 3.5ghz right?

I've been searching alot on google and it says that my cpu can be overclocked up to 3.7ghz. After a few restarts i finally got my amd overdrive program to detect my cpu. Once i get to the turbo controll in Clock/Voltage section it says that i have another profile listed in this controll that would set the multiplier to 37X but as soon as i change to this profile it jumps down back to 35x. Any ideas?
