    I have a 3.0 ghz processor running on an x800 xl ati radeon pci-e I heard my cpu could bottle neck my graphics card, but I wasn't sure. My processor is an intel prescott, and I wanna know the necassary preparations for overclocking this, and would it be worth it, because this already runs hot.

    There are some threads in MG about OC, cooling and modding You should read to make sure you can close tº down then thinking of OC will be better.

    I say 120F (48.8C) is the red line for overclocking....
