Right now I have an overclocked Radeon x1950 Pro and when playing games ATI Tool tells me that it changes from 55C to 60C. Its 50C when idle.Is that a good temp or should I lower clock speeds a bit?

Also, Imthinking about overclocking my pentium 4. As you can obviously tellfrom my name, Im only 14, and money is hard to come around. So far I know that the only risks that can come from overclocking CPU is that it can get fried (by overheating) and that has an easy solution, get better cooling.

What are other consequences to overclocking. and can someonetell me how hard it is to fry your system of ruin your system because of overclocking cpu. Thanks in advanced..

PS: Oh and by the way, I was at overclock.net and I read about someone having a processor very similar to mines (also P4 HT at 3 ghz) and he overclocked it all the way to 3.90Ghz.. thats a very significant change and he even had CPU-Z shot to prove it. Would you recommend me doing something like that. Remember, Im only a kid that needs a better performing PC (not like mines is bad, my pc kicks a** :D) I really dont want to ruin somthing because of overclocking.

Thanx in advanced!
