Hey guys, im new to the avsim forum section but have been a trusted avsim downloader for a few years now :)Iv just bought a custom computer with the following specs:Antec 902AMD PHENOM II X6 1090T (3.20GHz/9MB CACHE/AM3/) - BLACK EDITIONASUS® M4A87TD/USB3: DUAL DDR3,SATA 6.0GB/s, USB 3.08GB SAMSUNG DDR3 DUAL-DDR3 1333MHz (2 X 4GB)2GB NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX460 GDDR5 PCI EXPRESS - DirectX® 11600W Quiet 80 PLUS Quad Rail PSU + 120mm Case Fan STANDARD AMD CPU COOLERIm hoping to clock the 1090T to 3.8. With my computer build should this be a safe thing to do for my computer?

You should, definitely. But before you do, catch up on some heavy reading about it.

HIThe 1090T is supposed to be extremely easy to overclock. Being a Black Edition it was basically made to be overclocked, with having whats called an unlocked mulitplier, which makes overclocking child's play supposedly.One thiing though I don't know how far you'll get with the stock cooler, you'll really need to get an aftermarket cooler, but something about £20 - £30 / $30-$45 should be ok, from what i've read. Some come with pre-applied paste, others you'll need to buy it and apply a blob on the cpu, after using some TIM, thermal interface material, remover, which you'll also need, to remove the old paste off the chip.Its not that complicated, i've done mine a couple of times, but you do need to be clued up on it. The good thing is there are loads of articles on the web, just google 'overclocking 1090t' and similar.Hope this helpsMichael

Agree with Michael, get a good cooler. When applying paste, make sure its evenly spread over the cpu before attaching the cooler. This will ensure maximum cooling.Good luck!
