Check temperatures... if your BIOS can do it take a look there, if not, try
MBM5 or similar.

Depends what motherboard you have.

Typical core temperatures go to 70°C (actually thats a little high for
typical), but I wouldn't really expect the top of the heatsink to be more
than 50°C at the most.

OK OK, the post was a joke. I build/repair computers for a living, and I'm
somewhat knowledgeable about overclocking. I was just looking to get flamed.
Incidentally, my realname is Joshua Klehm.
