Hi i would like to OVERCLOCK but unsure. DON'T WANT TO CRASH OR OVERHEAT MY COMPUTER. PLEASE HELP THANK YOU
[color=#0000CD]I'm using HP Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit
Processor IntelRCore2CPU 4400 @ 2.00GHz
Installed Ram 2.00GB
Nvideo Graphics Card 8600 gtx[/color]
HERE'S A VIDEO LINK I'VE SEEN TO OVERCLOCK BUT STILL UNSURE

What Nobody has done this before. Come on i know someone has some answers.
For your video card, use the prgram called EVGA Precision or soemthing like that, google it.
For your CPU, well... Look in your BIOS.
DON'T overclock like big steps, overclock like 1% every time and see how high you can get
! That's how I do it and didn't had any problems yet
!
(Ooh, if your PC isn't booting anymore, you OC'd too much and have to remove the battery on your mobo for a minute or 2 and then put it back to reset your BIOS settings so it will boot nromally with the default factory settings again
.
I prefer to use nVidia's own Control Panel or nTune... It's nice. I gained over 50% OC on my GPU, that helps me to cope with SSBB on a healthy resolution (1024x768)
For CPU, either BIOS is the only option to OC your RAM, FSB, core clocks etc. But if your mobo is utilized to use a bundled software (which i guess not) then use that software.
If you have problem starting your PC, follow above user's instruction.
Generally OCing your GPU is less riskier than CPU...coz GPU is software control. You can first check the stability of your OC, but CPU OC is a gamble, unless OCed by a utility, which is rare.

Also when i got my Computer they put a new buffer or power supply or something. ITS CALLED TRUEPOWER TRO
Also i don't think i have a cooler unless its on my motherboard. IS THIS A PROBLEM
the only thing about gpu overclocking is : STAY AWAY FROM THE FAN SETTINGS
...it probably kinda killed my Geforce 8600 GT (who for some retarded reason doesn't shutdown when its to hot...)

hey Daco i posted more stuff if you haven't seen this alrighty.Also I'm i able to use clockgen to overclock cpu or no.
Like darkshadw said overclock in tiny steps.
After you successfullly get the clock you want on your CPU your gonna want to test to make sure its stable, to do that i suggest downloading prime 95, also while overclocking up and when stress testing with prime95 your gonna want to use some software to monitor the heat your cpu's making (i recommend CoreTemp and RealTemp), i also suggest you let coretemp or realtemp run in the background to make sure your cpu isn't running too hot (if its idling at 40c or less and doesnt exceed 60c on full load it should be fine (in order to make sure this doesnt exceed this you will need to run the cpu on full load for about 30-60mins to get realistic max temps)), if it is running very hot then i suggest going back to standard clock untill you get a better heatsink for your cpu (heat kills a cpu fast! you have been warned).
Once you have a stable clock speed you may need to tighten up your RAM's timing to make it run more efficiently.
Before any overclocking though you wanna see what sort of tempretures your cpu is running at standard clock to make sure it isnt going to overheat by increasing the clock by the slightest thing. Oh and i suggest you turn SpeedStep off while you test the tempretures (SpeedStep lowers clock speed so you wont get accurate tempretures....well you will...just it will be of the lower clock on idle)
