HELP!!!... Stability Phenoms System OC'd

[r352alit]

Can you helped me with build a system w/ Phenom system base and an ATI 3870 on graphic. And i'm want to "play a scoring mark" with the Phenom. I want a stability on the system when comes to OCed, i'm a little bit confused here. This is my first time build an AMD system and OCed, usually "play" with Intel. First of all, thanks for the choice.

Uuhhhh... That's really nice. But, how the system stability? I'm a bit worried, coz i really had a bad exeprience. When i'm OCed my old P4 2,4 Ghz to 3,8 Ghz, the board got blown up. Pretty stupid i think.

I've never heard of anyone blowing up there motherboard using "Auto" settings.

Probably because all the hardcore OCers don't use auto settings? And people who does use auto tends to be moderate OCers, so there's very little issues with that.

yeah, i guess its old stories back with my P4. by the way i use manual OCed with intel D865PERL. But i'm satisfied and brought another P4 3.06 Ghz standard clock and still running until now. But, i want try out the AMD latest Processor for my investment. Hopefully last for 2 years before crazy game resource eater published.

The Phenom, AMD's latest CPU, is rather a poor OCer. However they do offer a great bang for the buck when OCing isn't considered.
