Sounds to me like you've already been taking chances! I'd leave well alone if I were you. ;)

I could never understand this fascination with over-clocking processors...?
I have gone from a Pentium 486 DX100 long ago, to my present processor, AMD 2600XP, in gradual stages, up-grading as, and when, necessary.... 8)...!

Purchasing and installing a faster processor as a replacement seems to me much more reliable, and stable, than over-clocking the present processor and risk destoying it... :'(...!

...just my thoughts on the subject... ;)...!

Cheers all... ;D...!

Tanner, its probably your ram speed / ram timings that r stopping your PC from clocking more.
