The instructions suggest increasing the multiplier fully, not just the CPU speed. On my Phenom II X4 945, setting it to 245 results in around 3.6-3.7 GHz instead of the expected 3.0. This is because Intel processors operate at a 100 BCLK, and going beyond that could damage the motherboard. It’s important to follow these guidelines carefully and avoid making assumptions about what works for others.
This suggests adjusting the multiplier all the way up, not just the CPU speed. It mentions a specific example with a Phenom II X4 945, where increasing the multiplier from 200 to around 245 resulted in a higher frequency (3.6-3.7 GHz) rather than a drastic jump like x30. The advice also warns against using extreme values and emphasizes checking temperatures, staying within safe limits, and understanding that some systems handle longer OC times better.
The videos indeed mention Intel—he was discussing AMD when he mentioned increasing the multiplier as high as possible, and the other point is why I asked him to clarify. AMD and Intel have distinct methods for overclocking. In either scenario, it's advisable to proceed gradually rather than immediately adopting the highest suggestion that might damage components.
