Overclock 9850 on GA-MA770-UD3

[Lil Smurth]

I have a Gigabyte GA-MA770-UD3 mobo, 4gb (2 x 2gb) G.Skill DDR2 1066, and an AMD 9850. I see people overclocking there 9850s and I myself have had no luck. If anyone has a similar setup or maybe the same, can you help me out. I'm new to it and was playing around with it yesterday and would really like to squeeze a little more juice out of my setup.


Thanks

Is your processor a Black edition?

Yes it is. Just by upping the clock multiplier to 13.5, I was able to achieve 2.71. 14+ and I get blue screen.

Increase the vCore voltage, check temperatures, run Prime95 and test for errors.
