That's cool! I've never overclocked before, how do you learn how to do that? I know the basic idea is to raise the frequency and voltage for stability while still maintaining the temprature....or at least that's what I think it is lol, but what if you fry something and can't un-do what you did? Do you get a warning or some kind of safety measure when things get out of control?

Sorry for asking all these questions by the way, I'm just into this stff.

here is a pretty good article

i can get some more if you want, Overclocking the Intel I series chips is a bit different then the Core 2 ERA chips .

If you fry something you cant undo it, but A: its pretty hard to do and B: as long as you move in small steps you will be ok.

Usually you try to find the highest speed your chip can run on stock voltage first as voltage tends to heat things up the most and voltage is generally whats more dangerous to the chip
