Okay, whenever I have more time I'm going to download Furmark and try that test. I think you covered everything in your answer so I should be fine. That said, are there any high OC settings that are known to work for the 480, or should I just stick with doing it incrementally?

I've decided that I'm going to try and overclock my CPU for the first time. Of course, it is not as simple as I thought it would be, as I will need to mess around with many settings to properly overclock it. Just to test it out, I only want to increase the speed to 3.2 GHz, but I'm still not quite sure how to go about doing this. I'm using a P6X58D Premium mobo, and I understand that everything must be configured from the AI Tweaker screen. The problem is, there are just so many settings here it's overwhelming. So... if anyone could provide a link to how to properly overclock or help in any way, it would be appreciated. Thanks.

Okay, so, for anyone who has ever overclocked one of these before or knows how to without bringing temps to extreme levels, what are some safe settings to overclock at? Right now I'm using MSI Afterburner to overclock, and, from what I've read, I have to change/adjust the core, shader, and memory clock speeds. And, if it helps, my GPU usually idles anywhere between 40 and 46 C. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Perfect. I have nothing to worry about then.

Any way of doing this without losing save games? And also, the first hard drive is an SSD, so I'm not exactly planning on ditching it anytime soon. =P

Finally, I was able to properly install a second hard drive to my computer this morning. My first one only has a capacity of 40GB and is running out of room, while the new one has a capacity of 500GB. Now, the only question is, how do I copy a game (Crysis) I have installed on the first hard drive to the second one? Thanks.

That is probably the problem. So... how do I initialize it?

Okay, my hard drive shows up. It tells me that it has 465.76GB, which is correct, and that it is unallocated. This is all in the bottom portion of the screen that you can scroll on, not the top part. The problem is, when I right-click, no format option is available. It only shows "properties" and "help", along with an option to change the disk type, which doesn't do anything (I tried it). God this is frustrating.
