No do it in the bios

Start by increasing multiplier by .5 each time. Run Prime95 small FFT stress test for 10 minutes. Each successfully pass increase .5 again.

Once you fail increase the vCore (voltage) a few bumps (using + or -) and run blend in prime.

If you game, 4-8 hours is good enough. If you run your PC 24/7, then you need a 24+ hour pass.

You can usually get a higher clock or lower voltage overclocking manually instead of using the oc genie.

Make sure to keep a close eye on your Temps when you raise your voltage too

Nothing. Some people consider aida better, some people dont. For the purposes, either one will work, as neither is perfect.

Err yes. The newest version of Prime95 has issues. The older version is okay but AIDA is better.

It's been said that it can cause damage to certain CPU's. For Certain CPU's it draws an unrealistic amount of wattage, causing the CPU to overheat.
