i have the conroe e6300 and i've heard people overclocking over 3ghz without any problems?

Don't wanna go extreme, just want to overclock it to 2.5ghz maybe?

how do i go about doing that?

this is the motherboard i have -> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6813138034

graphics card- 7800GT

i have a 120mm fan in the back of my case, and a 80mm upfront.....

it seems as if i can only oc to 2.1ghz before it starts locking up on me. but why is that? CPU temp is showing 28-29 C...... the program i use to OC is warpspeeder, which came with the driver CD......

Good luck, your board isn't a very good board for OCing, since it's using an "ancient" 945P chipset.

I suggest you get an overclocking motherboard like the Gigabyte 965P-S3 or 965P-DS3. If you're a little richer, the P5B-E is a good board as well.

Did you get the parents permission? Overclocking babies can easily lead to overheated brains, which can cause permanent brain damage...

Take it easy, raise the IQ 5 points at a time. I don't recommend going 15 points above default IQ, as the brain may become unstable or even crash, reducing it to a permanent vegetable status IQ of 5 points.
