Hi im new to this forum and overclocking, i have been looking at overclocking software such as clockgen and ntune. After reading some threads here and on other forums its advised to not use software and do it through the bios. Before i even start looking at overclocking i need to know if i can do this to my pc, i will post my stats below. Please can someone advise me if my pc is capable of overclocking and if so is it worth it. Thanx in advance

boot into your bios (hold delete) disable all power saving functions. in many mobo bios it is under power management setup. then go to MB intelligent tweaker (thats what its called in my bios) from there you need to scroll down to voltage control. turn that off. my mobo flashes and says voltage not calibrated but the voltage is all calibrated, it serves as more of a warning. after you unlock the voltage (dont change it yet) go to your cpu clock speed and bump it up 1 setting (for me it will increase it by 100 mhz at a time) then boot to windows. download core temp to monitor your temperatures. also download prime 95 and run a small fft test for about an hour. if there are no errors of warnings and your temps are below 80C (varies on...
