My PSU is an EVGA 500W, and I'm thinking about adding a Hyper 212 Evo+ later. Right now, I'm curious if I can use the original cooler. Thanks in advance!

What processor are you using?
It's an APU A10 7700k with 16GB RAM at 1600 MHz. I'm currently using the built-in graphics and want to increase their performance. The default cooler should be slightly adjusted, but watch the temperature closely—keep it below 70°C. The maximum safe temperature is likely around 80-90°C, though going beyond that can significantly shorten the lifespan of the APU.

Should I overclock through the BIOS or use AMD OverDrive?
Either option works. If you overclock in the BIOS, it will activate automatically when the PC starts. With AMD OverDrive enabled, it will start when the system runs AMD OverDrive. Also, if you accidentally overclock in OverDrive mode, it's safe to do so.

It depends on what your stock cooler is—sometimes it really works well.
How can I find out more?

So, how can I find out? 😛
Did you build your computer yourself or did you purchase it pre-assembled?

What processor are you using? It's an APU A10 7700k with 16GB RAM at 1600 MHz, and I'm currently running the built-in graphics, which I plan to overclock.

The default cooler that comes with it can be adjusted slightly. Monitor the APU's temperature closely—keep it below 70°C. The safe upper limit is likely around 80 or 90°C, but operating near that range will significantly shorten its lifespan.
