OverClocking my amd

hi i just overclocked my amd 3800 2.0ghz to 2.3 ghz from the system bios. all i did was increase the ghz dial and thats about it . is this correct in overclocking? 2.3 was as high as it would go.

 

If your using stock cooling, I wouldn't go much higher. But yes, raising your MHz is all that you really need to do. I would keep an eye on your CPU temps to be safe.

 

right great..but uh i forgot to plug in the power for the temperarture gauge on my case >_< is der another way to figure out temp of cpu at windows?
