I have a Dell Studio XPS 435t using an Intel i7-950 at 3.07GHz, and since it's a dell motherboard, you can't overclock through the bios. I was doing some research and found out about a program named SetFSB that from what I understand, will allow you to overclock your CPU through Windows. Is this more dangerous than overclocking through the bios? If so, why? Any help is appreciated.
