I tried changing the multiplier once and got a blue screen and pc would not boot to windows and thought my cpu would overheat and have not tried it since.
You got a BSOD because you put it too high. That´s not the way. Every time select a new multiplier, raising it by 1. When you get a BSOD again, then start lowering it until your OS finally boots with no problem.
Check constantly the temps using programs like CoreTemp or RealTemp. If this option is available in your BIOS, set your fans to run at max speed so the machine doesn´t warm up too fast.
what would be the recommend overclock to play those games a full speed? Would I have to do something to the ram too? Once I find a multiplier that boots to windows how do I know is stable and wont freeze my pc or randomly shutdown?
