it happens automaticly with a hf acc
maybe your graphics card a little bit. other then that thers no need, the proceesor is good enough and im presuming your using 1333MHz RAM.
my ram is 4GB KINGSTON HYPER-X GENESIS DUAL-DDR3 1600MHz (2 x 2GB KIT)
I dun think u need to overclock…..
ur PC is having good configuration !
you have got a great pc as it is, overclocking anything except maybe the Graphics card as im not sure on how well it performs. i wouldnt touch the processor as its good.
If you feel up to it then go for it. Not sure what overclocks are possible on the amd’s, only familiar with I7 overclocking.

With BE (Black Edition) the multiplier is unlocked and they overclock great.
If you played your cards right you’d get that CPU @ around 3.5ghz OC’ed imo…
The first question is: what do you wanna do with your computer?
No need to overclock if you won’t use the boost
If you played your cards right you’d get that CPU @ around 3.5ghz OC’ed imo…Not on air…and not without volt modding.
OP: if you have no idea what you’re doing, I’d stay away from it. It cod be detrimental to your hardware if you screw something up.
I have been OC’ing for about 5 years, as long as you are patient and careful it is perfectly safe and can give yo huge changes in speed.
The 2 questions you need to ask are:-
1. Do I need to overclock? in other words do you run something on your PC which maxes out your CPU/GPU? if not then ask yourself question 2.
2. Do you just want to overclock because you can? Nothing wrong with this as a lot of people do it as a hobby.
Here is a good place to start reading.

The 1055T is easy to get to 4GHz on air. And changing the voltage in the BIOS != volt modding
