OK, silly question maybe, but ive had this chip for over a year, and ive never attempted an O/C.

The reason being is i don't really know how....and the cpu is cooled by a zalman reserator, which normally lets the cpu idle at about 38 degrees.

The cpu is also an origional clawhammer model, which has a higher heat output if im not mistaken.

Is it worth having a shot at an overclock? or will the temps hit too high levels.

Any advice would be really handy, as this chip did cost a fortune when i first bought it.
 
OK ok youve talked me into having a go. ;)

Sometimes my load temps hit 54-55 degrees. I never thought that was too bad though?

Thanks for the help.
