Help out a OC Nub!

[HAF72]

Hey guys, I want to overclock my amd 64 3200+ cpu.. Its water cooled and am using easy tune 4. Well anyways.. I need help overclocking. I overclocked it just allitle bit but dont want to oc it more until I get some pro help from [H] . Also the voltage.. How do I know when I need to up it more? Thanks!!

*I Know overclocking invalidate your warrenty, my cpu's warentty is over already.

Or should I switch over to intel and get a intel 930 and overclock that?

As for volts, it's not "WHEN to add more", it's "WHEN TO STOP adding more". When you reach the limit of what you can get with an overclock, you can always add more volts and go still higher. The problem is that more volts = more heat. Your limit will not be how many volts you can set, but how much heat you can dissipate. That's why people use dice, LN2, and phase change for cooling. It's not that their CPUs run cooler, it's that thay can pump in more (much more) voltage and still keep their CPUs from going up in flames.

Oh. and if you do up Vcore, monitor temps!

Thanks! Yea thats what I meant, how do I know when to stop? Like after I oc up a bit then run a stable test program?
