Hello everyone!
I'm planning to attempt overclocking my AMD Athlon x4 840 CPU (currently running at 3.1GHz with turbo at 3.8GHz).
After installing AMD OverDrive, the multiplier can reach up to 33x.
While 200MHz isn't high, I'm curious if it's safe to proceed with a regular cooler and whether adjusting the voltage is necessary.
Additionally, the turbo OC indicates a maximum of 33x turbo speed, while the turbo clockspeed is capped at 3.8GHz.
