I have an AMD Athlon II x2 255 CPU and from what I understand these are good overclockers. So, I decided one day that I want to get my CPU from it's stock 3.1Ghz to 3.5Ghz.
With 0 knowledge about the BIOS I started watching some video tutorials on how to enter the bios and how to use it. So, I rebooted my PC, pressed the Delete button and entered the bios. But with my motherboard's bios being different from the ones I saw in the tutorials I didn't know what everything else was except the CPU Frequency and the CPU Clock Ratio. So I tried raising the frequency by 10 to see what would happen and after I saved and booted I saw in CPU-z that I managed to overclock my CPU to 3.2Ghz. After some testing I saw that the OC was stable so I went back to increase it some more. This time I raised the frequency to 214 in order to get to 3.3Ghz but when I saved and rebooted my PC failed to boot. I went back, lowered the frequency back to 210 and everything worked just fine again.
And this is where I'm stuck now. I think I have to raise the core voltage but I don't know witch one it is and by how much I have to raise it.
Can you guys help me learn how to use this thing? Thanks.
