I want to overclock my cpu but dont really know how. How do you test your cpu as far as running at full throttle, meaning i have seen people say that their cpu is running @54C with apps running. How do you check your cpu while you have stuff running??? Am i making any sense at all??? Basically i am wanting to know how to overclock, and check cpu temps while running apps. Do you use testing equipment while its running??? Hope someone can help!!! athlon xp1700+,maxtor 80GB,kingston 384MB pc2100,ati 4200ti 8x,win xp home ed
