If you want to overclock your system, here are some tips you may need: you should lower the HT (HyperTransport) multiplier to 3x or 4x or the HT frequency to 1.1 GHz or lower the default HT multiplier is set to 5x I did not have to raise the Vcore voltage from 1.4V I did have to raise the memory voltage to 2.9V and had it run at 333 MHz instead of 400 MHz you will definitely need a very good cooling system also use good thermal grease like Arctic Silver for optimal performance. I have read many articles that suggest this processor can be safely overclocked to 2.7 GHz with better cooling. If my client wants I can always get better cooling on it and try to go higher (I am pretty sure it can achieve higher speeds). Even though this processor is fast, you can easily achieve an overclocked speed of about 2.6 GHz without much effort I did not have the cooling system to go any higher (I used the stock heat sink and fan for this overclock). This 4800+ is a very overclocking friendly processor, just like all AMD processors this was the main reason I switched from Intel a while back. If you install the stock heat sink and fan, your job will be even simpler, but you may need to follow instructions for the other heat sink if you choose not to use the manufacturer-supplied one. If you follow the steps listed in the guide properly, you should have no problems what so ever. But if you are still not sure about some steps or if it is just your first time installing these–follow the instructions in the quick installation guide. And AMD makes their processors easy to install anyways. If you have installed as many processors as me, by now you will be able to install these correctly and quickly without any problems. Since this is a 939 socket compatible processor, it is as easy to install as all previous 939 processors that AMD made. I think AMD’s choice to stick with the 939 socket design is great because it will compatible with your current 939 sockets compatible motherboard.
