Now it is about 60 degrees C. Have i overclocked too much or can i do it more? i dont want to burn my pc, but i really need the ekstra power.

I can also overvoltage. Is that a good idea?

thx

P.S. i think this is the wrong place to post this, but i couldn't find the right place... Fail me >.< plz move it if its in the wrong place

Don't take this the wrong way, but you have no business overclocking yet. You honestly should do a little more reading before you destroy something. You're claiming that a FSB increase from 266 to 280 only overclocks your cpu by 14 mhz and that's simply not true. Read the beginner guides and you'll learn things like FSB x cpu multiplier = cpu speed and you'll find out that your cpu has already been overclocked by far more than 14 mhz

LOL!!
i fail ^^
then i have overclocked for 14 x 6. which is 84. I have tried to set up my multiplier to 7, but when my com restarted and tried to boot, it want black and restarted again, so i went back to 6 again :P

well, then i'm sorry about all this ^^ but my friend told me to overclock my com :P

But thanks for all the tips and tricks. That 30$ cool system will be in my hands sometime for sure

Just FYI, your PS2 emulator will never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever run smooth. It is simply not possible. Even if you have 3xSLI GTX295's and the newest processor it will run slow and laggy. In years of searching, I have not found an acceptable PS2 emu.

As far as overclocking, do a lot more reading before fooling with it anymore. It seems you need a deeper understanding of what you are doing first. I read for months before I attempted anything.

anyway i'll get to the reading then. Thx for the help you all
