Make sure to run your chip for about a week before trying to overclock as it may be unstable to o/c a new chip. Also it's a good idea to run a program called Prime95. It tests your chip's stability by searching a database for very large prime numbers. You should run it while your not using your PC for about a week before and a week after you o/c. If you try to run Prime95 and your system doesn't boot then you shouldn't overclock.
