Well, I really have read everything here before trying to dive in. I mean, I don't even know if I want to overclock, but someone told me not overclocking a Phenom processor is basically a waste.
I tried using AMD OverDrive first, but I can't move any of the sliders, so i re-installed it and no luck still.
So, I guess I'll be doing it the old fashion way.
My setup:
Case:
Antec Nine Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower
CPU:
AMD Phenom(tm) 9600 Quad-Core Processor, MMX, 3DNow (4 CPUs), ~2.3GHz
PSU:
Rosewill Stallion Series RD500-2DB ATX V2.2 500W
Motherboard:
ASUS M3A AM2+/AM2 AMD 770
Ram:
G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)
Stock cooling, with the fan that came with it. I don't have the side panel on my case, and I can't hear it at all. Right now it's running at around 45C
