Phenom II X4 925 overclock solution found
Hi everyone. I need any information or tips about overclocking this PC. I'm not sure if reaching 3.0GHz is feasible. The CPU model is Phenom II X4 925, the motherboard ECS A785GM-AD3 V:1.0, and I plan to use a 4-pipe tower cooler with a GTX 650. Thanks ahead of time.
Only method to activate nen-BE Phenom is increasing FSB, but this also increases memory and PCIe speeds, and higher values can cause instability. You need to manually set the PCIe bus to its default frequency (remembering if it's 100 or 200MHz) and then reduce memory frequency slightly. After that, you can gradually increase FSB a bit and CPU voltage while ensuring stability.

noted, i didn't grasp what you were referring to by FSB, but after further investigation i made it clear. my ram is clocked at 1600, so i'll aim to keep it near that. i also found something on overclock.net that might assist, though they use a different motherboard.
