Would like to overclock my AMD 965 b.e
Last response: in Overclocking
AMD 965 be 3.4ghz cpu
ga990fxa-ud3 Mobo
mushkin blackline 8gb (2x4) Ram
EVGA gtx 580
NZXT hale90 850w 80 plus gold psu
Corsair force series 3 ssd
2tb western digital caviar black hd
Corsair h80 water cooler
Corsair Graphite Series 600T Special Edition white case
I am just wondering how difficult the process is to overclock my cpu, i was looking for around 3.8. Will the cooling be enough? will the parts handle it? Do I need to download a program to do it or is it better to do it through bios? Any help would be greatly appreciated and thank you in advance.

Change it in the bios.
Since it is a BE cpu, you just need to increase the multiplier, but do not just right to 3.8(The 955 BE I had did 3.7 on stock voltage with a coolermaster 212+). You will need to make smaller jumps and test with Prime95. Every cpu is a bit different and not all overclock as well.
You may need to add extra voltage(vcore) at some point(add as little as you can then test).
