I have OC'd my Phenom ll X4 965BE fron 3400 to 4047 using AMD Overdrive.
It runs smooth as can be and temps are from 25c idle to a max of 35c when playing Black OPs.
The ambient temp is 14c. I was on another forum and someone stated that software OCing was
improper, that any OCing should be done through the BIOS.
Being new to OCing I'd like some thoughts on this. I think that if I get the same final result, using
a utility put out by the CPU maker, What difference does it make? Anyone?
I use a H50 push/pull for CPU cooling.
