    I want to overclock this CPU as it doesn't really face most of the crap console-port games nowadays. I heard people over clocking this model at a solid 3.0 GHz. A 2.8 would be sufficient for me, but i guess the main problem will be the heat. My max temp on the CPU while heavy loading was 71 degrees Celsius. But most of the time I'm getting 68. On Idle (net surfing, other regular stuff) it stays under 40, now its 35 after ~2 hours since its been turned on. This values are after i undervolted it BTW. I guess I could go up to 80's, would that be dangerous?

    Also, i have posted about this here, cause i need a guide on how to overclock :D
    I never overclocked any hardware before. So a guide on how to do this would be also appreciated.
