Best way to overclock?

[Pc_Pimp]

I have a Gigabyte GA-965G-DS3 motherboard and it came with Easy Tune 5. Should i overclock in the bios or with easty tune 5 and why? Also in my bios it says "CPU Host Clock Control" disabled, does this need to be enabled to be able to overclock?

To get the most performance, you'll want to manually overclock it. All that 'raise by 5%' is just rubbish.

It is best to use the BIOS for a permanent overclock, but I personally overclock inside windows first to find a general idea of how much it is going to overclock.

Which program do you use to overclock inside windows?

Clockgen is a good one, or you can use one supplied by your motherboard manufacturer, if there is one.
