actually i am trying to find a way of downclocking my cpu for better stability
and for the overclocking.... I have an oven for cooking my meals

I do not overclock...I will fry my processor

I dont overclock my procesor yet but I do it someday )) just need to buy new and powerful cooler

Overclocking is ok if you have sufficient cooling. Watercooling was created for overclocking. AMD processors run hot anyways and overclocking them without proper cooling can spell disaster. Intel pentiums run cooler and can be overlocked a lot higher than AMDs.

My CPU does not need overclocking

my cpu can't be overclocked, it is too old

i only have a notebook, so processor overclocking isn't that easy, but sometimes i´m increasing the core speed of my graphics chip and memory a little, so i can play graphics demanding games

I overclock to try only ... nothing more

In the past, I thought about overclocking, but when I think about it, it is better that I didn't try anything. Also I have problems with my coolers now, and dont want to try anything with the cpu

Extreme overclock

Its really fun to overclock my old comps and CPU's that i dont need anymore, but on the comp that i'm using i dont dare to overclock the CPU, because im too scared it will get damaged.

I totally understand what your saying mate and fully agree for myself.
Brand-New pc's cost to much to overclock and end up joining 25-50% of the
people who overclock there CPU and damage it in the process. And have
to replace, or suffer performance degrade or worse.

I've over clocked my PCI-Ex Nvidia Geforce 6800 once and will never
do it again, just thankful it was under warranty and they didn't reject
replacement of the card.

If it wasn't for the warranty I would of been out about 500-900$ for
a brand new replacement video card.

Nah, I don't overclock. I don't need to. I don't want to risk anything.

You are lucky. I got a friend that overclocked his CPU, but Intel said that the warranty wasnt void if he'd overclocked it. (or something like that, im not really sure)

I did for a while but dropped it back to default even though it ran 5% quicker at about 40 degrees. I have a AMD 3500+ (64bit) now running at default clock speed...
