Hi, I bought an AMD Phenom II x4 925 some time ago, and now I wanna try to overclock it, cause I reckon it could be an interesting experience.

I have read a lot of guides, but what I need is some concrete information based on my specific rig and how best to carry on.
I don't want to OC it excessively, only so much as can be handled by a cheap heatsink (Xigmatek Gaia 1283 caught my attention after reading a review on tomshardware). Maybe 3,2 - 3,4 GHz seems just fine. Stock is 2,8 GHz.

Downloaded CPU-Z, so I'll just go ahead and post some screens with the numbers:

I usually forget some critical piece of information, so please remind me if there's some information you need which isn't here 🙂

Thanks in advance!
 
for cheap heatsink, go with the Cooler Master Hyper 212+ and forget the rest!

also don't forget to overclock the CPU-NB as well. I got better results doing both the CPU and the CPU-NB as far as performance was concerned
