Hello Everyone,

Here is my system:

Core 2 E7200

Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3R

Gigabyte HD 4850

2 gigs of Muskin ddr2 800 (1.8V)

I have a few questions,

1. Can I just go into my BIOS and change the FSB from 1066 to 1333? Without fiddling with voltages and RAM and such?

2. Wouldn't that give me about 3.1 Ghz? Is it even worth it?

3. Will the stock cooler handle it?

4. There isn't a whole lot of risk involved if I don't play with voltages right?

I am a total noob to overclocking...

Thanks!
