If you're computer is overheating AT ALL then you should not be overclocking at all. Seriously - don't be dumb about this. If you don't have the cooling, don't insist on pushing it until it's regularly crashing. Overclocking is about gaining more speed, and functionally its about not giving up stability. If your computer isn't prime95 stable for 24 hours then your OC is too much. Improve your cooling, for the love of god read about what you are doing, and don't do dumb things. Way too many people have thought "whats the worst that could happen?" and ended up out a couple hundred bucks.
