OK, so I'm not really a noob when it comes to computers but I am a liitl new to overclocking.
I have a Phenom II 720 and I've read a lot of the past forums on overclocking and I'm a little confused so bear with me.
I went into my BIOS and raised the FSB and got he freq up to 3400.
Restarted, everything was fine and I had an idle temp of 29c
After reading some more it seemed that the best way to overclock was to raise the multiplier. So I set the fsb back to auto and raised the multiplier to 3000 and the voltage up just one tick.
Now i am at 3000 with an idle temp of 32c
Is there any advantage or disadvantage to either method?
Please be gentle.......
