First Time OCing a CPU Help?
Last response: in Overclocking
I recently bought an AMD Phenom II X4 945 3.0GHz Processor. My CPU cooler is a Thermaltake CLP0554 80mm Sleeve CPU Cooler. I plan on doing a small OC to maybe 3.2 or 3.3 GHz because I was told I am bottlenecking my CPU with my Radeon HD 6950. I just don't know how because a 945 has locked multipliers. How do I OC a 945? By the way, my motherboard is this:

IF (it's a big one) you have a shot, it will be with AMD Overdrive.
And your PhII 945 is not really holding your HD6950 back. An over-clock of the CPU will push your frames higher, but your frame-rate, I suspect, is already quite high, anyway.
