I haven't actually purchased the new parts yet, I'll be running (most likely) an ASUS M4N72-E motherboard with either a Phenom II 920 or 940. I'm still mulling over my finances on that one.
I've never overclocked before, and I'm not looking to get anything more than the stock heatsink/fan that comes with the chip. I'm running a 500W power supply.
I want a system that's stable and won't overheat. I don't need to push any boundaries in terms of speed or the chip's maximum potential. I'm just wondering if there's a safe, easy way to squeeze a little more juice out of the CPU.
How far can I push either chip without getting too complicated? From the little I've understood of what I've read, I'd be willing to tinker with the multiplier, but not much else.
