Im gonna overclock my new rig new week (after Ive flipped around the HSF lol)
Gonna use this article I found as a guide as its from AMD itself and basically using the exact same hardware as I have.
http://blogs.amd.com/play/2009/04/22/overclocking-101-with-the-amd-phenom-ii-x4-955-black-edition-processor/
Just a questions at the start of the article at step 1
Is says small increase or one shot big gain.... now what does this mean? Like Im basically asking is it safe for me to go straight in and make my multiplier 20 x 200 = 4ghz (which is my target) straight off and see if it works?
Will it damage the chip in anyway to just straight out do this jump?
Do chips seem to get a higher stable overclock if you do it slowly?
Or is that just the way you "find" it, by doing it slowly?
Cheers

Step 1 - Figure out your goals, small increase or one shot big gain? Power efficiency, is it important? Going for a full system max overclcok? Find the limits?
