4. Save BIOS settings and exit.

Reference Clock (HTT)
The AMD Athlon FX-62 CPU runs at 2.8 GHz nominally. When you
increase the reference clock, for instance, to 246 MHz from 200 MHz, you
have overclocked the CPU to 3.07 GHz (256 MHz × 12). You can reach a
higher CPU frequency with by using a better cooling system, by increasing
CPU voltage, or both.

setting.
Due to CPU manufacturing process variations, the overclock potential
for CPUs varies. However, AMD FX-62 CPUs typically can overclock to
3.1 to 3.2 GHz using air cooling solutions with a NVIDIA nForce 590
SLI chipset.
