Overclocking
Overclocking with the M4A785TD-V EVO is overly simple for someone who has spent most of the last three or four years overclocking Intel rigs, just HT bus x multiplier. There is no readout of what your clock speed will be, so you’ll have to use your brain or a calculator to determine clock rates from while in the BIOS. All relevant settings are in one menu, which makes overclocking a breeze.

After a fair amount of experimentation, I got the Phenom II X3 720 to 3.7gHz, the highest I’ve overclocked this processor so far.

Testing – Benchmarks

For testing I first ran the benchmarks I commonly use to check out the stability and performance of a system. I ran the tests at stock clock of 2.8gHz, then at my overclock of 3.7gHz.
