Man, you are wasting your i7 930
Get a decent 40 dollars cooler and at least OC it to 3.7 where it runs the same temp @ stock but much faster!
What board do you have?
ASUS P6T SE X58. It was not my initial mobo choice, but It was part of a CPU and motherboard bundle which saved me about $250. I had my eyes on a Gigabyte X58.
I'm afraid that I'll screw something up bad during the overclocking procedure, and end up damaging or destroying my PC parts, not to mention voiding any warranty I may have had with it. I have never overclocked anything before in my life. Apparently it must be done very carefully, and you really have to know what you're doing.
Is it true that you can only increase the CPU speed by about 200 MHz per BIOS visit? If you dial up a 1.0 GHz overclock all at once, you'll end up utterly destroying your CPU?
You also have to increase the CPU voltage to stabilize your overclock.
