Hello,
I’m planning to push my processor overclock until the new Ryzen model arrives. I’m new to this process since I’ve heard potential dangers and used a regular fan before. Around three to four months ago, I installed a new graphics card (Rx-480 8GB VRM) and added Corsair liquid cooling. From what I found online, liquid cooling seems more effective for overclocking, so I’m reaching out to fellow tech enthusiasts for advice on trying this myself.

At the moment, my setup includes:
Motherboard: Asrock 990FX Extreme 4
Graphics Card: Radeon RX-480 8GB GDDR5
Processor: AMD Phenom II X4 965 Processor (Black Edition) – standard speed around 3.4Ghz
Memory: PNY 16GB DDR3 [2x8GB] at 1866Mhz (currently set to 1600Mhz)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 Pro Edition Service Pack 1 [anniversary update], 64-bit

Thank you for taking the time to read,
-Tim

YouTube offers greater assistance than we might expect in written form. Consider examples like Asrock 990FX Extreme 4 overclocking, and continue from there. The majority apply to FX chips, though the method remains comparable.
