Google AM3 overclocking guides. Monitor temps, should not go above 61, which is AMD specified limit. Get a good CPU cooler like the OCZ Vendetta 2 @ 2.6k before you clock it.

Could both of you please update your signature with system specs. Also Compaddict is worried about the OPs PSU. Lets hear on that before imparting OC methodology...which we love to do so...! :p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p

1. Which PSU are you using.
2. Are you on Stock cooling for the CPU.
3. Could you download CPU-Z and post screen shots of the CPU/Memory and SPD tabs.
4. Download RealTemp and Prime95 also.

^^ Does it make a temperature log simultaneously which can be easily posted here...with the core temperatures.

Am asking, since it never even launches on my system....! If yes, we can use that for analysis..?

^No, it does not. For a simultaneous log we can use OCCT linpack I think.

Then I suggest for this case, since we need online screen shots, RealTEMP in conjunction with Prime95 will do good. The OP can definately use Intel Burn test to verify system stability for his own sense.

@OP:
Will get back on the OC. Mean while, there is an OC thread in the 'CHIT CHAT' section. It has a flow chart. See if that makes sense.

What about the PSU, and HSF question I asked. 'Help us to help you'

^Same thing can be done with RealTEMP plus Intel Burn Test right? Or CPUID H/W monitor with Intel Burn Test? That's what I did at least. :)

^^ Not really...

Cause when RealTEMP sensor check option is used, it at the same time stresses the CPU as per Prime95 (2x worker threads), and logs the temperatures on the interface. It is calibrated against TjMax, which we need for Intel cores. With Intel Burn test running, it would just show one singular value on the RealTEMP interface, same with CPUID.

I want to see the gradient, and variation when the core is load is being sequentially increased. RealTEMP logs this in stages. And all the stage temperatures are shown..

^Hmmm... Since RealTEMP is only for Intel, I can't really learn about it either. :( I'm off to my AMD world... :)

It does it like this:

See the temperature logs at various intervals. With Prime95 as the stressing engine.
