Help Overclocking AMD Phenom II 955 BE
Hey there, made this post purely to get a bit more knowledge and with a bit of luck, an overclocked CPU.

I'm looking to overclock my CPU and everywhere I've looked (BIOS, AMD OverDrive, AMD CCC) I can't seem to overclock my system. Whenever I opem AMD OD I get a message saying it could not find or support the chipset on this computer. So I'm a little confused, I read somewhere it might be the chipset in the motherboard, of which mine is Gigabyte M68MT-S2P (Nividia GeForce 7025 chipset). Does that have anything to do with why I can't overclock?

I know computers quite well so please don't lecture me on how novice I am, but when it comes to overclocking I am newish to it and there seem to be lots of conflicting suggestions on the web.

Here are my specs -
AMD Phenom II 955 Black Edition (@3.2)
8GB RAM
AMD Radeon HD8650 1GB
1TB HDD
Gigabyte M68MT-S2P

Thanks in advanced!

If this is your board: http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=...
...it should have no problem OC'ing. It isn't the best board with no heat sinks on the VRMs and only a 4+1 phase count. But it should work. Your black edition has an unlocked multiplier. Can't you increase it in BIOS?
