Anyone as clueless as the OP shouldn't do be Overclocking at all. I was just presenting an alternative.
Why risk cooking your new CPU that has cost you as much as a 360. I just don't get it... unless it is a "hobbyist" thing, like fixing cars.
Overclocking a Core 2 is somewhere between tying your shoes and setting up a DVR in terms of difficulty...we're not talking open-heart surgery here.
Though lots of people are, like you say, into overclocking for its own sake, almost anyone can get a significant speed boost by spending a little time in BIOS and checking temps, with barely any risk of CPU damage. It's not the hyper-delicate operation it;s often made out to be.
