Since I don't have the hardware to be xtreme, I figure this is the place to post...

Anyways, I've got a AMD Phenom II x4 3.5Ghz

Black Edition 970

I wanted to play around with overclocking some, so I downloaded..AMD Overdrive, and on level 10, I can only get up to 3.77GHZ. I ran the Auto Clock thing, and it blue screened but the voltage never went up.

I was wondering if there is a better method to overclock (for a beginner)

Also, reading material would be appreciated as well. I simply want to toy around with the computer.

My motherboard isn't great.. so I figure that may restrict me a bit.

My cooling isn't bad, Thermaltake Frios normal temps are 37C or so.
