I've been using Easytune5 to Overclock....
Ive got my 3.2 to 3.5 on stock settings....
I want to get to atleast 3.6
I am willing to raise the voltage....
I will not play with ram timmings though....
My may concern is damage to the processor, I want to really just leave my proc at 3.6 for atleast 4 years becuase by then it will be time for a new comp
Anyway
My setup
3.2 Ghz Northwoord
1024Mb of 3500 Ram dual channel....
gigabyte8knxp
Case temps idle around 28 air cooling....
As of now running some programs 36.4 . Usually the proc temps are 10 defrees in celecius higher.
I have some questions though if I mess up how do I reset it in bios and what are the risk short term and long.... If I fry this I wont be able to afford a new cpu for awhile....
