It's definitely something in their H-Series then, H50, H60, etc.
For what they are, they give a nice amount of leverage for overclocking.

Download CPU-Z and tell us which motherboard you have, most likely you can but some motherboards don't allow for this. While installing, untick install ask toolbar then run program and under mainboard tab, tell us the manufacturer and model.

as other people have said, your cpu runs hot, so make sure to check temps reguarly especially while gaming. You could oc without the cooler but i ain't responsible for any issues..

Seeing these kind of questions, I would recommend to wait with the OC.
A good OC is like a marathon runn...can take days.
There's no software to automatically OC a CPU....thou best software involved in the process :

Monitoring

Code: Select All

http://www.alcpu.com/CoreTemp/

Code: Select All

http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html

Stressing

Code: Select All

or

**Punkbaster** · 07-02-12 at 02:18 PM

Well...Read and learn the basics. Then go for a specific OC manual for your CPU and BIOS and try out. But remember...there is always a risk of irreparable damage when overclocking! + by OC-ing your voiding the warranty !!!
