Easy way to OC your processor? For example: EVGA Precision (http://www.evga.com/precision/), or something like that, do you know of any thing like that with out going through the BIOS, a nice simple way to over clock. Thanks, help would be greatly appreciated!

Yeah but am not really sure, how do do it by the bios, so even if its not that great its better than nothing. You should google an introduction to overclocking.

i would rather not. LOL, that guy makes it sound worse than it is...if you just overclock in small steps you cant break your CPU.

Your computer will become unstable :o. lol. Don't worry about it, just keep an eye on your temps (use HWMonitor or something similar) and stay below 70C and use Intel Burn Test to test for stability. Go slow and you'll be fine. If it's unstable just keep adding small increments on to your vcore up to a max of +0.15v and if it gets too hot just back off a bit. Have fun :)
Blah blah blah, all those warning signs are ot make themselves feel special for overclocking. Overclocking is a joke these days, just go raise the fsb and multiply it by your multiplier on core2 and below series. That will give you your speed, just raise the fsb... run prime95, is it stable? If it's not it will bsod, black screen, system halt, but no biggy. If it's stable then awesome, and one you are comfortable with your speed, you can change your voltages from auto to have them manually changed. There isn't much reading to do when overclocking. All you need is coretemp + prime95, keep below 75c on the cores and don't crash.
Most of us would have started out just like you. Not wanting to fry our processors like some other people on the net. If you keep to a safe temp limit (60-70c) and not completley max out your voltage you should be fine.

If you go a bit too far then windows will probably blue screen,,,dont worry just slow the CPU down a tad and it will be fine.
Yeah, if you take it slow steps and don't massively overvolt your CPU you'll be fine. The wors that can happen is you bluescreen or the computer freezes, or you fail stress testing, you reboot, tweak your settings and try again. I've been doing this all day yesterday and today trying to minimize the voltages on my computer, I've probably rebooted about a million times, but no damage done.
lol if you have both a decent after market cooling then oc should be quite easy unless you take you volts to the extreme or try to extreme overclock that most people wouldn't feel safe doing without water cooling .
Look - don't use software. If you can't overclock via the BIOS, then you don't know how to overclock, and shouldn't be doing it. I would actually argue that software is *worse* 100-fold than BIOS overclocking, because people really don't grasp the ideas of "stability" "voltage" and "heat". That's how people burn up GPUs - they overclock way too high on something like Precision, and they don't run tests like ATI Tool-ing after heating up on 3Dmark or Furmark.

Software is okay for very mild overclocks, if you're looking for something in excess of 200MHz definitely use the BIOS. I sometimes use the ASUS AI suite to keep my CPU at 2.00GHz at under 1 volt, and the kick into 2.66GHz OC for other things, that's when I'm not using my BIOS set 3.34GHz OC.
