Is this a good OC guide?

I recently flashed my bios and forgot note all the settings of my OC, I used the guide I posted below in combination with some help from a guy, but I dont think I did the best job.
I want to OC again but I'm not sure where to turn to, I see so many different "good" guides, but I cant tell them apart!

What can I add to this guide to get the most out of my CPU?

In the video, to my understanding he only OC the NB, from what I have read the best OC is a combination NB and multiplier.

Is there any other detailed guide you could recommend?



Running 990fx and 8350 BE if that is of any help.

Ty in advance!:)

You won't fry anything if you stay within safe limits, some people go up to 1.65v on air, you're more than safe at 1.5v, just don't exceed 1.5v until you know more.

If you search in...

Whenever I've overclocked an FX processor, I start by downclocking my RAM to 1333MHz, set the multiplier to 100 and try to get the FSB as high as possible. There is always a 'sweet spot' where to bump the overclock up one notch, you'd have to add a lot more voltage, when you've found that spot, try bumping your multiplier up without adding any voltage, if it's stable, set your RAM up and run another stability test. That's the way I do it, Jay explains in that video which options you should disable when overclocking too.

So you are saying I should do that in combination with the guide? I ask because he doesn't mention multipliers throughout the video except for saying that he ignores them.

Yes, you shouldn't necessarily use my tips as I haven't overclocked an FX series processor in literally years, but use knowledge that you've gained in combination with a guide.

Before I go off to create som magic smoke, should I first focus on the NB and get it stable, then get oc my FSB or should I do the simultaniously?

Also FSB=Multi? Right?

FSB (or front side bus), it's like Intel BCLK. The BCLK/FSB overclocks your RAM, NB and HT too but doesn't usually need as much voltage as mutliplier overclocking and the best overclocks are usually achieved with a combination of FSB/BCLK and mutliplier. BCLK/FSB x mutliplier = clock speed.

If you are literally a total beginner though, I'd recommend just sticking to multiplier to be honest and I wouldn't exceed 1.5v on the core.

Do you have any good multiplier guide you could recomend? So I dont go following something that will fry my cpu?

If you search in Google for your motherboard model followed by overclock, it should come up with some guides specific to your motherboard.
