Very new to this how to over clock athlon II x4 640

[Plazmawolf]

I am super new to over clocking CPU's. I was told to use AMD overdrive but that seems to lock me out from making any real changes. How do I overclock my athlon II x4 640? Thanks.

You need to do the overclocking in BIOS to achieve the high overclock. If your motherboard has no overclocking feature in BIOS, your only option would be to try SetFSB overclocking software.

Huh. So it's partly in the hands of my motherboard? How do I over clock in "BIOS"... and what is BIOS?

heh. sorry.

May want to familiarize yourself with the BIOS before jumping into overclocking.
