I currently have AMD Phenom(tm) 9650 Quad core processor 2.30 GHz, Windows 8.1 pro x64 bit, with 5 GB of RAM. Since I play alot of online games where FPS is required the most, I wish to increase my FPS. I have seen some people talking in discussions about overclocking it to 2.6 ghz or some even to 2.9 GHz. How can I do the same?

– decent board & very overclockable

– RAM is going to hold you back somewhat no matter what you do. Your Phenom supports up to DDR2-1066 (@533MHz) but you have DDR-667 (@333MHz) so it’s running at about 63% of optimal speed.

– the GT610 is not much of a gaming card. It’s an entry level card that’s more of a HTPC card (home theater). It’s actually a rebranded GT520.

I can explain how to overclock your CPU by tweaking the BIOS settings & you should get a bit of a performance boost, but it can’t make up for having slower than optimal RAM & a entry-level non-gaming card.
I’ll review the motherboard manual & post back later with some BIOS setting recommendations….
