Quote:Thanks, I'll keep it in mind, I know that Bulldozers OC easily with the stock cooler to around 4.3GHz if I'm not mistaken, will give it a try!I wouldn´t recommend overclocking with the stock coolers, as they´re not designed for overclocking.
There´s plenty of cheap CPU coolers available, which are also easy to install. With one of these, you will probably be able to get your clocks up to 4.5GHz or so.
Trying it out for a minute or two, provided that you keep an eye on the temperatures should do no harm though. (Aim for temperatues < 85 degrees celsius)
