Hi folks .I am quite new to overclocking so i have a few question .

1 . Is it necessary to have a secondary cooling solution (apart from provided chip set fan ) installed .I am not so proficient in hardware installing so please tell me how to install one if it is necessary .

2. Recently i overclocked my e4400 from 2.0 Ghz to 2.6 Ghz but i did not found any recommendable performance increase ( i did this by going in to bios and only increasing clock speed ,leaving every other thing intact ) .For eg games like assassin creed still run in slower frame rate though i overclocked more than it's recommended clock speed .

3. I have not done any thing with Voltage level ,but i have heard that you have to change that also . How much should voltage be increased . Also is it possible to overclock my graphics card . How much overclocking is possible then.

for improvement in games u'll need to oc ur gfx card more than ur procy.
to oc ur gfx card either use Riva tuner or read thru the thread "Convert XFX 8600GT to XFX 8600GTS' in the tutorial section.

u need to increase the vcore when u oc futher to maintain system stabiliy.
