EDIT- resizing pics real quick turned out to big :|

I know these are pretty easy to OC, but I never oced anything before

heres a little program my mobo came with that looks like it makes ocing easy

now do you think i used auto OC it will set voltages for me and what not?
or should I not sue this program to OC

here is ss of the voltage tab incase it is needed to help

1. Use BIOS to overclock. Overclocking from Windows can be unstable or have many other problems.

2. Always manually set voltages and clock speeds. Automatic voltage and clockspeed control sets voltages far too high, which dramatically adds to temperatures.

ok thanks.
guess I will be doing that once I get some extra cooling in to place. because these run pretty hot already with out ocing

Also remember that adding voltage will decrease the life of the processor, even with added cooling. That's one of the reasons I dislike auto-voltage control so much when overclocking... it will pump so much more juice through the chip that it might damage itself rather quickly.
