Ya, do not over clock unless you have an excellent heat sink/fan along with plenty of case cooling. Especially if your a novice at it. Overclocking is much safer on more advanced motherboards that have temperature monitoring controls... I have my 2.8 HT Processor crankin out 3.45 and its well within the green zone as far as temperature is conserned. The other nice thing about newer motherboards is Alarms... You can specify your system to alert you if your computer is overheating. Thus, you can save... turn it off and allow it to cool then correct any problems.
