Is it possible to overclock AMD Phenom X3 8400?

[Th_Redman]

Wondering if anyone knows of a program, or even a setting within my MSI K9N6PGM2-V (MS-7309) motherboard BIOS to bring up the standard 2.1GHz of this processor to around 2.3GHz? I welcome and thank all responses.

Not familiar with that motherboard, sounds suspicously oem.. But really with a locked cpu you would have to use the reference clock for overclcoking. This generally means overclocking the ram as well, so an unlocked multiplier is the preferred method.

Here's an article to look at:

Its a bit out of date as far as the AMD overdrive is concerned, but still worth a read.
