^OCing is rarely as dangerous as people blive..you are not going to fry your hardware unless u supply insane volts way above the recommended and in that case it probably wouldnt boot anyway....As long as you know your hardwares limits you should be fine...the worst that could happen is you might have to reset the BIOS

I know that.
I'm just saying that he doesn't have to OC this new PC of his. He doesn't need to.
If you're OCing, then you need a noticeably improvement in performance after OCing. To get this improvement in performance, the components need to be stressed. And why simply stress the components when it's really not needed?? This PC can be more than good enough for many more months.

I have a C2D proccessor, ASUS mobo a a 512 MB nVidia 7300 Gfx card. I'm keen to overclock my Gfx card to safe (yet not overheating) limits to extract maximum juice from it.
Mainly to run games on higher settings (i hope this is possible thru overclocking)
How should I go about?

I've got the Book of Overclocking through um.... my sources.
BTW, if you need to get this book (for free), then you'll have to put your Googling skills to the test. :)

hi am new to overclocking....
i overclocked my proccy e8400 to 3.75Ghz and i checked the temperatures which i'm quite not able to understand.....
by the way i tested stability using orthos.

it says

core0 around 69 -77c
core1 around 60-70c

and

temp1 around 50c
temp2 around 45c

what is the difference between core temp and the other temp.... and these values are the ones when i ran orthos..... are these temperatures within the range...??

Well other temp is the temp outside the procc main area, area surrounding it

Well, apply thermal paste, I guess it's already applied though.

Well, then, change the cooler to ZALMAR or ARTIC FREEZER all under 2k, then even 4GHz won't give above 65C as reviews say

Did any one tried out the big bang 2 drivers(180 series)for nvidia graphics cards???? How far is the increase in performance???? And i also want to know when will nvidia add support for nvidia 8600 gt in 180 series driver.:mad::mad:. They have added support for 9300 and 9400 which has very less crunching power than 8600, any idea??????:-?:-?:-?:-?:-?
