first thing I am going to say it needed thermal past ASAP no one been taking care of it the temp was 60 degrees I apply the thermal paste now its in the 30 35 deg so yea..... so I was wondering can I overclock it its an amd core dual core 5600+ desktop it does have a cooler master thing it has black tubes 2 of them connecting a big fan on the side and a block on the cpu its clocked at 2.81 ghz atm I was hoping for close to 3 ghz what you think should I overclock it right after applying it or what
