I'm relatively new to overclocking and I'm seeking to gain some experience by overclocking my Athlon X4 845. The name doesn't have a "k" at the end, so (I think; Correct me if I'm wrong!) it's not mean't to be overclocked. I'm still going to attempt to overclock from 3.5 Ghz to 3.8 Ghz by changing the multiplier. How much would be the voltage increase for this overclock? Should I change the Base Frequency and not the multiplier? Any helpful hints or suggestions are welcome.:ange:

Regards

By 'multiplier' I presume you mean the base clock since the CPU multiplier is locked. Remember, increasing the bClock will also increase the speed of everything else that runs off the bClock.

AMD recommends 1.5v as the max vcore for those processors. Some folks go higher, but do so at their own risk.

As said above, you can't change the multiplier on that chip (well, you can lower it, but that's pretty pointless if you're overclocking), only the K series (or black edition) chips allow that. You will have to increase the base frequency (which overclocks other things such as RAM, so make sure you pay attention to those settings to avoid running your memory too far out of spec).
