I bought a used HP computer, the specs are below. I want to overclock it moderately. I have been unable to find the correct mainboard manual.
Thank You

Any other overclocking software

I am thinking Artic Freezer 7 Pro for cooling as it is advertised to be quieter
any suggestions for moderate overclocking.
the price range is about $20

About how much overclocking is advised with additional cooling without upgrading the P.S. and what P.S. upgrade would you advise. The P.S. is 320 watts and has special connections. I would think 400 watts would be sufficient but asking amount and make.
Thank You
