@andy26473 , I also build them for a live ! He does not !!! He just tells ppl to do things the wrong way so they burn up their hard earned CPU they worked hard for ... So ZIP IT JR !!!

[PhatboyHD88]

@andy26473 , you are clueless like Linus so be Quite little boy !! I have a Bachelors degree in computer sconce & technologies

! He doesn't !!! So get a grip jr !!

@PhatboyHD88 Shut up i think he knows more than you about computers

[PhatboyHD88]

Sorry forgot to add multiplier for 4.0ghz it is 20 .... 4.2 ghz is 21 BLCK IS ALWAYS 200.!!!

[PhatboyHD88]

Dude you are clueless on how to overclock this CPU !!! Why you giving bad info to ppl !! I have this CPU ... And never put voltage that high on a Gulftown CPU !!!! I am running @ 4.2 ghz @ 1.256 volts !!! Validated by cpuid !! And people don't set the BLCK and Multiplier his way it's all wrong !! Set BLCK to 200 and Multi to everyone knows that but Linus !! That's for 4.0ghz ,,, for 4.2 just bump multi up to 21... That is the PROPER WAY to overclock this CPU !!!!

I have this cpu on my classified 3 motherboard. I am running it on air until i figure out how I'm going to water cool it. Anyway, my heatsink (V10 Cooler Master) should be able to get me to about 4ghz easy. However, I'm skeptical about following this tutorial without knowing what I'm doing. Do you guys have any suggestions on books or sites that I can use as a form of research so that I can learn how to overclock and know exactly I'm doing? If so, I'd appreciate a reply. Thanks

LOL, just seen the rest of the video now, Must have crahed out before.

How the hell is this a tutorial,!!! It doesn't show you how to do anything in the bios!, Ie Settings and Voltages.
