'Sup guys,so i bought this APU 2 weeks ago and i wanna do some overclocking,i have some questions tought!

1-Whats the best overclock option to do with the stock cooler(Voltage and clock speed)

2-If i buy another heatsink(Coolermaster Blizzard T2 is the only fm1 heatsink i found in Brazil that doesnt cost 100+ dollars) where can i get with overclocking?(What clock speed)

Later on i'm buy a Cooler Master X6 Elite Base,it's the best FM1 heatsink i've found in Brazil that is not a WaterCooler!

Btw,is it worth buying a WaterCooler to overclock this processor?

I'm a noob talking overclock wise,so sorry if i said something stupid!And sorry if my grammar isnt the best!

Thanks!

1. stock heat sink is not meant to handle overclocked cpu, so with stock heat sink leave cpu at stock.

2. 3.5-3.6GHz is what I will recommend

upto hyper 212 evo is enough for this cpu to get 3.6ghz
though if you can get water cooler then it will be even better
