Maximum OC

[Sathid]

Hi all,

I am getting an AMD Phenom II X6 1045t. It is going to be on an MSI 970A-G46 Motherboard with 4Gb RAM (if that makes a difference) and a ATI Radeon HD 4650 1GB graphics card. I will be using this for some gaming. My question is should I overclock this CPU if yes what is the limit that I should OC to?

NOTE: I will only be using the CPU fan that comes with it. My Case does have another fan on it.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Hi

With the standard AMD fan ..you DO NOT overclock...

All the best Brett

I agree with Brett, i mean u can, but its just not intelligent, maybe 3.0ghz from 2.7. but again u may not get it, nor should u rlly attempt. Invest in a cooler master hyper 212 which is $25-35

@Brett928S2 and lazyboy947

Thank you kindly for the advice it is greatly appreciated. I will avoid Overclocking until I get a better fan.

at least u asked first before u overclocked unlike a guy in another post who got 5.0ghz on his i7 with the stock cooling lol As i said u can do it but it'd be a minor overclock
