but imho, if u dont even know where to start to oc, just forget about it, it will SUFFICIENTLY REDUCE your CPU LIFE BY ALOT!! and you wont gain as much as ppl did witht he same cpu, you will just get yourself in a mess, but if you DO want to oc, first thing to try is a big heatsink, for you try 1.85v and 144fsb
