I finally overclocked my cpu from 2.53ghz to 2.55 ghz  . I know not a real big jump but I only have the stock fan and don't really want to fry it.

*chuckle*. You're the kind of beginning overclocker I like to see. Slow, easy, and one step at a time.

I havent done much overclocking either....but my first new computer was a SLOT a ATHLON...950MHZ with 100fsb..I think it would get to 105fsb so that was 1050mhz! lol.
c44...you got a lotta room before you need to worry about frying it..besides, you can just go into the bios and keep a watch on the temps etc.

Monitor your temps as you progress---you cant hurt a thing at the rate you are progressing---"frying" is an older OC term not used much nowadays unless you make a major blunder---
What board/mem are you using?

Overclocking is like an adictive drug... Once you start, its VERY hard to stop! |
