yes read that article, then tell us ur motherboard brand and model and the heatsink u have on the processor


one thing to keep in mind is that ram speed and latency(cas), cooling of teh case, processor, and motherboard, and PCI cards are all limiting factors of how high u can overclock, besides the options u are limited to in ur bios.

also if u have a store bought PC u aint gonna be OCing lol
