OK, so I am brand new to overclocking, although I know the principles of it, and am looking for advice for overclocking my Phenom II 965. The last CPU I had was a Phenom 9650 which was poor at overclocking.

So, here is what I have:
  • AMD Phenom II x4 965 BE
  • Gigabyte GA-890GPA-UD3H
  • Xigmatek Thor's Hammer CPU Cooler
  • Quality DDR3 RAM (haven't bought yet)

So, is my cooler up to the job with one fan? How close to 4GHz can I get? What kind of voltages, multipliers etc. would you recommend?

Your advice would be greatly appreciated!
