Want to overclock AMD Phenom II X4 810

[billamama]

Never tried this kind of stuff, but I wanted to see how far I could push my Phenom II X4 810 without significantly shortening my CPU's life span.
does anyone have an AMD Phenom II x4 810?

how far could i get it on stock cooling without adding extra voltage?
at present it is AMD Phenom II X4 810 @ 2600 MHz

First few questions.

1. What is your PSU Brand, Model & Wattage.
2. Do you have Stock Heat Sink or Custom one? If Custom then Water or Air. Also mention Model?
3. Do you have well ventilated Cabinet?

Steps for a Good Overclock.

1. Throw away the PSU
2. Buy a Seasonic or Cosair 500W PSU which is minimum 80+Certified
3. Throw away the Stock HS
4. Buy CM Hyper 212 EVO
5. Do some cable management

ps: Not kidding btw...Unless above steps are not followed DO NOT try OC.

@ OP - with stock cooling ( if you can keep the cpu under 65/68c ) you can reach upto the speed of a 3.2 Ghz ( provided you don't need to push the vcore ).

BTW, what's your stock cpu vcore now ?

btw bro don't you think its too bad to overclock with that zebronics PSU.
@op,
buy FSP saga II 500W @ 2.3-2.5k and you are good to overclock.

Dude, if you you got a nice corsair or seasonic above 500W, your PC can run like a monster.. overclocking is no big deal of expertise, but benifits you in a large way, all you need to know the ideal temperatures and voltage and wattage for your CPU and there you are, get overclocking..

sorry to ask but how could I know the ideal temperatures, voltage and wattage for my CPU?

use Hwinfo app , keep it's sensor module running in background and it will log idle/load temp, volts, fan speed etc very nicely.

Anybody please tell me the stock cpu vcore , ideal temp, voltage and wattage for my cpu from the above sensor status screenshot!

& btw which psu to choose among recommended 3? Corsair/Seasonic/FSP

@ billamama - your stock cpu vcore ( under load ) : 1.280 ( must be set as 1.3v under bios )
idle cpu temp : 38.6c
Idle cpu voltage : 0.992v
load cpu temp : 46.9c

@ billamama - your stock cpu vcore ( under load ) : 1.280 ( must be set as 1.3v under bios )

@topgear, can you explain a bit the part "stock CPU vcore : 1.280v must be set as 1.3v"?
