You have a better PC.
But I wonder whether you are doing over clock too much.
According to circumstances, CPU is damaged, or the longevity of CPU will be down.
So be careful...

what is the purpose of overclocking?

Most reasons of executing overclock is to make CPU more high-speed by setting the clock speed of installed CPU from a limited value to exceeding.
But the effect of the improvement of the clock speed with an over clock is very little.
So I don't recommend an excessive over clock.

I don't recommend overclocking period.
Sure you can do it with the proper cooling but the processor manufacturer give the CPUs those values for a reason.
And as stated above by Discovery, the advantage is little.

cant understnad fully about that 'overlocking' thing, but i know for sure that your pc nesmaster is very 'goodlooking' hehehehe....

in simple terms overclocking means to make something run faster. i had a 1800mhz (1.8ghz) cpu but instead of buying a new one i just overclocked it to 2200mhz(2.2ghz) why did i overclock it, cas for me it wont affect my processors life span/ make it not last as long and because my motherboard can overclock it safely and not over do it.
as for what others say about it not doing much, yah i dont see any difference besides in some games but that is rare.

how can i overlocked mine?

Do you have some manuals of your motherboard?
I think you can see some informations about overclock in it.

But the motherboard which is product of intel Corporation may not support overclock...

i dont have the manual since this pc is not mine but for the office, but i'll try it in my home....

i'll try to overclock mine...but it is reversible, right?

i've changed my new HD, they changed it to a much better one now, coz my later HD has an Cyclic Redundancy Check. now i'm back to full throtle..

You mean..."After doing an over clock, can it return to former limited value?", right?
After you changing BIOS setting, it can return to default settings.

my pc now downed....i dunno what have happened inside it, we dont any idea how it is being crushed...hmmmm....my tech said it is a Video Slot that's corrupt...
