Hi
I am little confused about what I have done to my procy coz i don't know this OC thing
what I am going to change is to change the ram speed 1333 to 1600
and I think I changed the CPU speed
is my cpu overclocked or it is in normal speed
in bios it showing 3.6Ghz but in cpuz its showing in different like
if I really OC'ed my CPU what should I do now to get normal speed
I have the normal cooler which came from my Processor
please help me
thanks in advance

Just take a look at this YouTube video of Biostar TA990FXE UEFI Bios Explanation about OC'ing also.You will get a clear idea of how to OC yours.

First of all buy a aftermarket cooler like Corsair H60 @ 3.7k (Hydro-Cooler) then OC like all hell broke loose with the guides provided above.Don't OC with the stock cooler provided with your CPU, it may damage your CPU+MB as well.

your bios/uefi must have a setting like restore default setting/load optimized default or something like that .. make use of that option.

That cabinet can accommodate almost all sorts of coolers.

How much are you going to OC ? Liquid or air cooler ?

A cooler master hyper 212 evo @ 2.2k can easily handle upto 4.3-4.4ghz.
Another option is Thermalright Venomous-X @ 3.4k and add 1-2 CM 90cfm fans @ 500 each.

4.2 to 4.4 is enough for me and i am thinking about CORSAIR H80 is it a good option? Or i go for CM hyper 212 evo and have some extra cabby fans

Hyper 212 Evo + some extra cabby fans are recommended.
