Baby steps are the second rule for overclocking. The first rule is dont overclock if you cant afford to replace the hardware if anything goes wrong. With cpu oc'ing, more can go wrong and you could lose more, including any data on your hardrrive.[/quote:f7573]

Yeah, this is true too. I'm just not that confident in overclocking GPUs compared to CPUs.
