there is a "sticky" (thread that never moves) at the top of the overclocking forum / in that tread towards the bottom are two articles for overclocking AMD set-ups >>>> you need to start by reading those . then just "looking" into your bios to see the settings they are speaking of / after that you will ready to begin your journey

keep us posted
