1) I have a i5 760 with stock cooling but a very good cooling fase antec 900 with one additional side panel fan
2) I have read on the forums that overclocking in bios is better than with utilities?
3) if i am at 2.8ghz and i want to do a modest overclock like .2ghz to make it to 3.0ghz what would be the best way to do that
4) i have software to monitor temperature what CPU temp is too hot, plz include both idle and full load.
5) Is it safe to OC on stock cooling? My CPU is around 45 C with few applications *music, a download, and browser* and gets to about 60 if under full load with a game.
6) Can i just use FSB to get me right to 3ghz? or should i do it in smaller increments than .2ghz?
7) * additional info i'm using asus p7p55d-e pro mobo, 8 gb ddr3 1600 ram, 750 w modular power supply XFX
